Five years after On the Road, the book that made him an overnight celebrity, Kerouac examines with wrenching clarity his unwished for fame, escalating alcoholism, and troubling alienation from nature. In a thinly veiled autobiographical account of his time in Big Sur at the cabin of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and with friends in San Francisco-among them fellow iconoclasts Neal Cassady, Gary Snyder, and Alan Watts-he chronicles a ruinous alcoholic bender with searing psychological candor. Kerouac displays full mastery of pace, structure, and idiom in Big Sur-a tale that ends with a crescendo as finely wrought and poignant as any in American literature. Includes a character key and a detailed biographical timeline.

Autorenporträt
Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was an American novelist and poet, best known for his pivotal role in the Beat Generation, a literary movement that emerged in the 1950s. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, to French-Canadian parents, Kerouac's writing style was characterized by its spontaneous, free-flowing prose, often described as "stream of consciousness." His most famous work, *On the Road* (1957), captured the restless spirit of post-war America and became a defining novel of the counterculture. Kerouac's exploration of spirituality, jazz, and the search for meaning influenced generations of writers and artists. Despite his literary success, he struggled with personal demons, including alcoholism, and died at the age of 47.
