When Kerouac appeared on The Steve Allen Show in 1959, he secretly read from the introduction to the then-unpublished Visions of Cody although he was supposedly reading from On The Road, the book he was holding. Part of the novel is a fast-forward recapitulation of the events described in On the Road, which was also about Kerouac and Cassady. Sions of Cody is derived from experimental spontaneous prose inserts that Kerouac added to the original manuscript of On the Road in 1951-52. Since its first printing, Visions of Cody has been published with an introduction by Beat poet Allen Ginsberg titled “The Visions of the Great Rememberer.” It was written in 1951-1952, and though not published in its entirety until 1972, it had by then achieved an underground reputation. Visions of Cody is an experimental novel by Jack Kerouac. ![]()
