«Big Sur» is Jack Kerouac's autobiographical novel, published by Penguin Publishing Group in paperback (256 pages, in English).
The protagonist, Kerouac's alter ego, feels exhausted by fame and alcohol. He alternates excesses in San Francisco with an isolated cabin on the Big Sur coast, where he seeks peace and mental clarity. It is an autobiographical testimony about the Beat Generation and the personal cost of that lifestyle.
The work was originally published in 1962; the author's alter ego is named Jack Duluoz and this edition includes a foreword by Aram Saroyan.
A reference work for those interested in the Beat Generation and in the figure of Jack Kerouac, as well as for those who have read On the Road.
Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac, known as Jack Kerouac, was an American novelist and poet who, alongside William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, was a pioneer of the Beat Generation.
