"'What I'm beginning to discover now is something beyond the novel and beyond the arbitrary confines of the story. . . . I'm making myself seek to find the wild form, that can grow with my wild heart . . . because now I know MY HEART DOES GROW.'--Jack Kerouac, in a letter to John Clellon Holmes. Written in 1951-52, VISIONS OF CODY was an underground legend by the time it was finally published in 1972. Writing in a radical, experimental form ('the New Journalism fifteen years early,' as Dennis McNally noted in Desolate Angel ), Kerouac created the ultimate account of his voyages with Neal Cassady during the late forties, which he captured in different form in On the Road. Here are the members of the Beat Generation as they were in the years before any label had been affixed to them. Here is the postwar America that Kerouac knew so well and celebrated so magnificently. His ecstatic sense of superabundant reality is informed by the knowledge of 'I'm writing this book because we're all going to die. . . . My heart broke in the general despair and opened up inward to the Lord, I made a supplication in this dream.' [] 'The most sincere and holy writing I know of our age.'--Allen Ginsberg." [publisher copy] "You will find some of Kerouac's very best writing in this book. It is funny, it is serious. It is eloquent. To read On the Road but not Visions of Cody is to take a nice sightseeing tour but to forgo the spectacular rapids of Jack Kerouac's wildest writing."--The New York Times Book Review. "VISIONS OF CODY is Kerouac's greatest book, according to his own opinion, and its music is testimony to his verbal inventiveness and virtuosity . . . the range and variation of style within his remarkably growing bookshelf is just as remarkable . . . there is a grace, a majesty, and a tenderness to his language . . . both the inspiration and the content of this literature is of an intuitive, emotional, and mystical nature."--The Village Voice. Near pristine jacketless hardcover w/brillant corners (some bumped) & crisp edges (slightly foxed), a square & tight binding, all quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB2762
