The author's alter ego, Jack Duluoz, attempts to find peace and inspiration in the secluded haven of Big Sur. Yet, the allure of the metropolis and the ghosts of his past relentlessly pursue him. Big Sur stands as one of Kerouac's most stylistically refined and introspective works, offering a panoramic portrait of a generation defined by its era. Composed in his signature 'spontaneous prose,' the novel remains a cornerstone of Kerouac's oeuvre, its relevance undiminished. Kerouac delves into themes of solitude, artistic creation, alcoholism, and the quest for identity against the breathtaking canvas of nature. The novel serves as a manifesto for the Beat Generation, a cohort that yearned for liberation, self-expression, and a defiance of societal norms.
