From AudioFile

This autobiographical novel continues the adventures of the (older but certainly not mellower) wandering beatnik from ON THE ROAD. For a narrator it contains extraordinary difficulties, for the writing flies off into inebriated, overly long sentences that reflect, describe or just babble forward in a kind of free association. To keep such passages flowing while making sense out of them is no mean feat. Tom Parker pulls it off, erring only infrequently in his interpretation. He even manages to sound as if he were enjoying himself. The production is clean but tinny, possibly dampening the pleasure of home listeners, but hardly bothering drivers listening over traffic noise. Y.R.

First Sentence
THE CHURCH IS BLOWING a sad windblown "Kathleen" on the bells in the skid row slums as I wake up all woebegone and goopy, groaning from another drinking bout and groaning most of all because I'd ruined my "secret return" to San Francisco by getting silly drunk while hiding in the alleys with bums and then marching forth into North Beach to see everybody altho Lorenz Monsanto and I'd exchanged huge letters outlining how I would sneak in quietly, call him on the phone using a code name like Adam Yulch or Lalagy Pulvertaft (also writers) and then he would secretly drive me to his cabin in the Big Sur woods where I would be alone and undisturbed for six weeks just chopping wood, drawing water, writing, sleeping, hiking, etc. etc. Lire la première page

4.0étoiles sur 5 Why?, Oct. 11 2006
Par Real Name Attribution (There you are . . .) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Big Sur (Paperback)
Why more people aren't drawn to this book, along with Mr. K's DESOLATION ANGELS, is beyond me. Forget about ONE THE ROAD--I read it years ago and didn't see what all the noise was about. So perhaps that's why I came to this book not expecting much . . . and got a lot more. The greatest piece of literature ever written? No, but it is a great chronicle, and a superb example of the "beat" generation's wordsmithery (if that even is such a word). If you're a fan of Kerouac, don't miss this book. If not, I'd suggest starting with DESOLATION ANGELS first.

Also recommended: Katzenjammer by McCrae, Post Office by Bukowski, and Naked Lunch by Burroughs

4.0étoiles sur 5 Essential Kerouac, Aoû 14 2003
Par Un client
This review is from: Big Sur (Paperback)
Though not my absolute favorite Kerouac novel, I can honestly say once again that I loved every bit of it(if you want some of my overall favorite Kerouac work, check out On The Road or The Dharma Bums). It was, though, one of the quickest flowing books to read. Big Sur grabs you and drags you vigorously through the psychotic barriers of Kerouac's impending insanity, and will not let go until you have completed the extremely intense final chapters. Kerouac also included at the end of the book a poem entitled "Sea" that he wrote while observing the ocean at Big Sur.

Read Big Sur. It is an amazing work of literature, and is guaranteed to catch hold of you from the very first page. And if you enjoy this, do not stop there. I recommend anything with Jack Kerouac's name on the cover. Take my word.

Also recommended: The Losers' Club by Richard Perez

5.0étoiles sur 5 I'll drink to that, Juil 10 2003
Par ERIK (Appleton, WI United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Big Sur (Paperback)
This book was written after all the damage had been done, and you can feel it as you read the book. Jack tried for years to get his writing out and by the time it was published he was well on to the state of mind you read in "BIG SUR".
I really think this is a brilliant book, you get to experience a bit of the torment he put himself through to get away from the critics that called his work childish. You even get to hear about Neal Cassady ten years after "ON THE ROAD".
A book well worth reading, slowly, Jack had a tendency to run paragraphs and sentences together, a technique he uses quite a bit in this book.
