Reseña del libro "Big sur (en Inglés)"

Jack Kerouac shot to literary fame in 1957 with the publication of his iconic book of the Beat Generation, On the Road. Kerouac was termed "King of the Beats," a mantle he was entirely uncomfortable with. Along with Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, and several others forged a new literary voice and attitude - it was a movement that often mocked and challenged the American status quo. Prior to the publication of On the Road, Kerouac had written several novels and poems. With the almost overnight success of On the Road, publishers clamored for his other books and a Kerouac industry was born. Within only a few years of being heralded as the voice of a new generation, however, Kerouac was aging, severely alcoholic, and suffering from a death of the spirit. Arguably his finest post-On the Road novel, Big Sur captures Kerouac (here named Jack Duluoz) trying to escape the clamor of beatnik adulation by retreating to Lawrence Ferlinghetti's peaceful cabin in Big Sur. What begins as a pastoral regeneration descends into a personal hell when Kerouac suffers an alcoholic breakdown. Written in Kerouac's elegantly poetic and rapid-fire prose, Big Sur is both beautiful and horrific, a clear-eyed recollection of facing down his many demons and willing himself to survive them.

Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), figura emblemática de la Generación Beat, capturó el espíritu de la época en sus novelas. Destacan “En el camino” (On the Road, 1957), una obra clave sobre viajes y libertad, “Los vagabundos del Dharma” (The Dharma Bums, 1958), inspirada en el budismo, y “Los subterráneos” (The Subterraneans, 1958), sobre la vida bohemia. Kerouac, también poeta, es reconocido por su prosa espontánea.
