Pro Reviews: Big Sur
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.
...Kerouac's grittiest novel to date and the one which will be read with most respect by those skeptical of all the Beat business in the first place....What Kerouac has achieved, most importantly, in 'Big Sur' is a sense of structure and pacing which the early books lack.
Publisher Notes: Big Sur
- 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.
