Description
Big Sur by Jack Kerouac In 1960, Jack Kerouac was at breaking point. Press attention had taken its toll after the publication of On the Road, and he needed solitude to survive. He retreated to a cabin in Big Sur, California, where he poured his thoughts onto paper. The result is one of Kerouac's most personal novels, a searingly honest account of struggle with doubt, addiction, and self-destruction. The book ends with the poem "Sea-Sounds of the Pacific Ocean at Big Sur", marking a turning point in its protagonist's journey towards coming to terms with fame, the world, and himself. This is a deeply introspective work that offers a unique glimpse into Kerouac's inner world.
