Big Sur
Kerouac, Jack
Synopsis "Big Sur"
2019 Reprint of 1962 Edition. Coming down from his carefree youth and unwanted fame, Jack Kerouac undertakes a mature confrontation of some of his most troubling emotional issues: a burgeoning problem with alcoholism, addiction, fear, and insecurity. He dutifully records his ever-changing states of consciousness, which culminate in a powerful religious experience. Big Sur was written sometime after Jack Kerouac's best-known works, following a visit to northern California and the first feelings of midlife crisis. Kerouac stayed for several weeks in a cabin in Big Sur, California, and with friends in San Francisco. Upon returning home, he wrote this account in a two-week period. Critic Richard Meltzer referred to Big Sur as Kerouac's 'masterpiece, and one of the great, great works of the English language."
Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouack, más conocido como Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) es el novelista más destacado y emblemático de la Generación Beat. Su obra narrativa encarnó las experiencias y deseos de libertad de esa generación, espíritu plasmado mayormente en su célebre libro En el camino (1957). Poco después indagó en el budismo, experiencia que da forma a otro de sus libros más famosos: Los vagabundos del Dharma (1958). Además de la narrativa, también escribió poesía. Es reconocido por su prosa espontánea.
