Big Sur

by Jack Kerouac


Review this book!

Duluoz, the protagonist previously of DOCTOR SAX, has written a book entitled ON THE ROAD. Suddenly, he's deified by young people who pursue him in search of wisdom. Overwhelmed, Duluoz runs to Big Sur, to revisit his own past. Alcoholic, alone in his cabin, he disintegrates--then goes back home.

Media Reviews

"Now at last Kerouac has begun to fulfill the promises of humor and pathos that could be found among the goopy pretenses of his...other books...[T]he portrait of the beat monster trying to escape from his role, to regain his role, to grow up, to remain a child, is in focus, troubling and touching."
