About Big Sur

In 'Big Sur', Jack Kerouac, under the pseudonym Jack Duluoz, details his struggle with fame after the success of 'On the Road', his descent into alcoholism, and his quest for solace in nature. Set against the backdrop of California's coastline, the narrative flows with Kerouac's stream of consciousness and reflects his internal turmoil and quest for redemption.
