« Visions de Cody est sans doute l’œuvre la plus ambitieuse de Jack Kerouac. Composée d’esquisses du New York des années 1950, du portrait intime des proches de l’écrivain, de la retranscription de leurs conversations sous drogues et alcool, elle constitue le complément indispensable au célèbre Sur la route. «Visions de Cody est une étude de caractère de six cents pages du héros de Sur la route, "Dean Moriarty", dont le nom est désormais "Cody Pomeray". Je voulais entreprendre un hymne immense qui unirait ma vision de l’Amérique avec des mots crachés selon la méthode spontanée moderne. Au lieu d’un simple récit horizontal des voyages sur la route, je voulais une étude verticale, métaphysique du personnage de Cody et de sa relation à "l’Amérique" en général.» Jack Kerouac. »--

Book Details


First Sentence

"THIS IS AN OLD DINER like the ones Cody and his father ate in, long ago, with that oldfashioned railroad car ceiling and sliding doors-the board where bread is cut is worn down fine as if with bread dust and a plane; the icebox ("Say I got some nice homefries tonight Cody!") is a huge brownwood thing with oldfashioned pull-out handles, windows, tile walls, full of lovely pans of eggs, butter pats, piles of bacon-old lunchcarts always have a dish of sliced raw onions ready to go on hamburgs."
