Summary
Jack Kerouac: Big Sur
In 1960, Jack Kerouac was on the verge of a breakdown. Driven crazy by the constant press attention after the publication of On the Road, he needed to "run away into solitude again or die," so he retreated to a cabin in Big Sur on the California coast. The resulting novel, in which his autobiographical hero, Jack Duluoz, struggles with self-doubt, alcoholism, and self-destruction, is one of Kerouac's most personal and honest works. Ending with "The Sea: Sounds of the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur," it depicts a man coming down from his hedonistic youth and trying to come to terms with fame, the world, and himself.
