Big Sur

Set against the backdrop of Big Sur, the narrative follows Jack Duluoz, a thinly veiled version of Jack Kerouac, as he seeks solace from the overwhelming fame and adoration that followed his success with On the Road. Initially a retreat into nature for rejuvenation, the experience quickly spirals into a harrowing struggle with alcoholism and personal demons. Kerouac's signature poetic prose captures the tension between beauty and despair, making Big Sur a poignant exploration of survival amidst chaos and the toll of fame on the human spirit.
