Coming down from his carefree youth and unwanted fame, Jack Kerouac undertakes a mature confrontation of some of his most troubling emotional issues: a burgeoning problem with alcoholism, addiction, fear, and insecurity. He dutifully records his ever-changing states of consciousness, which culminate in a powerful religious experience. Big Sur was written some time after Jack Kerouac's best-known works, following a visit to northern California and the first feelings of midlife crisis. Kerouac stayed for several weeks in a cabin in Big Sur, California, and with friends in San Francisco. Upon returning home, he wrote this account in a two-week period. Critic Richard Meltzer referred to Big Sur as Kerouac's 'masterpiece, and one of the great, great works of the English language.'

所有的荒誕、孤獨、迷離地探索,不過是找一條迴傢的路。 p.s. 購於SF的city light bookstore,當做是嚮Jack & beatniks 緻敬。
評分From a man full of life in On The Road to a paranoid drunkard, Kerouac became the opposite of everything he once was, dislike it.
評分Read while traveling - another important book in my life. Sometimes you're aghast at how ridiculous these "emotional issues" (like self-loathe) could've been if you're not experiencing them simultaneously. Other times you wonder with amazement how they manage to live with them, and create, in such intense, enormous and continuing vitality.
評分看的中文翻譯版。誰能理解你們的憂愁啊。
評分[A cat is dead and "I" am sooooooo sad~~~]賤人就是矯情= =! Kerouac wrote more than three books only talking about his road with his long long long thinking! It reminds me of Haruki Murakami's one work. But! Keroac's book disappoints me. And, pls don't show off your superficial knowledge of Asia culture!Second, my grade for American Lit thus became low!
