Big Sur

A poignant masterpiece of wrenching personal expression from the author ofÂ On the RoadÂ andÂ The Dharma Bums

In this 1962 novel, Kerouac's alter ego Jack Duluoz, overwhelmed by success and excess, gravitates back and forth between wild binges in San Francisco and an isolated cabin on the California coast where he attempts to renew his spirit and clear his head of madness and alcohol. Only nature seems to restore him to a sense of balance.Â In the words of Allen Ginsberg,Â Big SurÂ "reveals consciousness in all its syntactic elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion."
