In a thinly veiled autobiographical account of his time in Big Sur at the cabin of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and with friends in San Francisco--among them fellow iconoclasts Neal Cassady, Gary Snyder, and Alan Watts--he chronicles a ruinous alcoholic bender with searing psychological candor. Kerouac displays full mastery of pace, structure, and idiom in \u003cem\u003eBig Sur\u003c\/em\u003e--a tale that ends with a crescendo as finely wrought and poignant as any in American literature. Includes a character key and a detailed biographical timeline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerouac, Jack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Bahr Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781734029260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.44d","brand":"Jack Kerouac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39596846776395,"sku":"9781734029260","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_112f2ca8-26aa-4b41-8182-e172b9742f4b.jpg?v=1637644496","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/big-sur-9781734029260","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
