Written by Jack Kerouac - Audio book performed by Tom Parker - Unabridged Fiction - 5 COMPACT DISCS - 6 hours Publisher, Blackstone Audiobooks (May 2000) "Big Sur's a humane, precise account of the extraordinary ravages of alcohol delirium tremens on Kerouac, a superior novelist who had strength to complete his poetic narrative, a task few scribes so afflicted have accomplished-others crack up. Here we meet San Francisco's poets and recognize hero Dean Moriarty ten years after On the Road. Jack Kerouac was a 'writer,' as his great peer W.S. Burroughs says, and here at the peak of his suffering humorous genius he wrote through his misery to end with Sea, a brilliant poem appended, on the hallucinatory sounds of the Pacific Ocean at Big Sur." --Allen Ginsberg |
