Written in a distinctive style of "spontaneous prose," Big Sur has been called by many critics Jack Kerouac's late masterpiece.

Trying to cope with the consequences of the unexpected fame that came after the publication of the novel «On the Road», and excessive alcohol consumption, the author's alter ego namedJack Duluth takes up residence in a lonely cabin in Big Sur's Reton Canyon, where he hopes to find peace of mind and free his mind from the increasingly intense madness.

However, it's unclear whether he'll succeed, as the temptations of the life on the road are always at hand, and San Francisco, with its bohemian literary scene and wild drinking parties, is just a short drive away.

The novel Big Sur is one of Kerouac's most stylistically mature and retrospective texts, which is also a collective portrait of an entire generation in American culture in the second half of the twentieth century, a generation that, at Kerouac's own request, has now received the cult name of the Beatniks.
