Book Reviews of Big Sur
Book Review: Ignore the cover and read this book!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a way for Kerouac to try and come to terms with the new life that he found himself leading after the phenomenal success of "on the Road". The novel deals with his need to be alone, in a cabin in "Big Sur", so he can come to terms with his own life, and face the darker side of his personality. This is an excellent book, and I recommend it to anybody who wants to know more about Kerouac.
