Summary
Published in the 1960s, this semi-autobiographical modern classic was inspired by author Jack Kerouac's three visits to Big Sur, California. Pressured by the demands of his own success, Jack Duluoz, the fictional alter-ego of Kerouac, retreats to a secluded cabin in Bixby Canyon. Although seclusion heals his sorrows, loneliness forces him to return to civilization, where his troubles manifest themselves again. In return visits to Big Sur, his mental and physical deterioration only worsens
