About Visions of Cody

Visions of Cody is an experimental novel by Jack Kerouac which was written in 1951 and 1952, and first published in 1972. The novel is an examination of the life of Neal Cassady (renamed Cody Pomeray in Kerouac's works), a key character in the Beat Generation, a movement that Kerouac himself started. The book's style is a stream of consciousness narrative, often unstructured, which reflects Kerouac's attempt to describe his philosophy about Neal and the period.
