{"product_id":"big-sur-2","title":"Jack Kerouac: Big Sur [2012] paperback","description":"In 1960 Jack Kerouac was near breaking point. Driven mad by constant press attention in the wake of the publication of \u003ci\u003eOn the Road\u003c\/i\u003e, he needed to 'get away to solitude again or die', so he withdrew to a cabin in Big Sur on the Californian coast. The resulting novel, in which his autobiographical hero Jack Duluoz wrestles with doubt, alcohol dependency and his urge towards self-destruction, is one of Kerouac's most personal and searingly honest works. Ending with the poem 'Sea: Sounds of the Pacific Ocean at Big Sur', it shows a man coming down from his hedonistic youth and trying to come to terms with fame, the world and himself.","brand":"Kerouac, Jack","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":49075941474643,"sku":"XG80141198255","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/kerouac-jack-jack-kerouac-big-sur-2012-paperback-xg80141198255-57746114445651.jpg?v=1727219104","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/big-sur-2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
