A poignant masterpiece of wrenching personal expression from the
author of On the Road and The Dharma Bums In this 1962 novel,
Kerouac's alter ego Jack Duluoz, overwhelmed by success and excess,
gravitates back and forth between wild binges in San Francisco and
an isolated cabin on the California coast where he attempts to
renew his spirit and clear his head of madness and alcohol. Only
nature seems to restore him to a sense of balance. In the words of
Allen Ginsberg, Big Sur "reveals consciousness in all its syntactic
elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac
confusion."
Aram Saroyan's The Street: An Autobiographical Novel tells what it
was like to come of age in New York City in the turbulent period of
Vietnam and L.S.D., of racial unrest and rock-and-roll. Saroyan's
free-wheeling, poignant and funny autobiographical novel deals with
near stardom in Hollywood (Mike Nichols wanted him for the title
role in "The Graduate"), his father, William Saroyan, his
step-father, Walter Matthau, and a fascinating cast of characters
from the world famous to the drop-outs of the psychedelic
revolution. A screen adaptation of The Street, written and directed
by Noam J. Christopher, can be viewed at ubu.com/film/saroyan.html.
"Here is a novel that pins down an era." -Bookpeople Aram Saroyan's
Complete Minimal Poems received the William Carlos Williams Award
from the Poetry Society of America. His many prose books include
Genesis Angels: The Saga of Lew Welch and the Beat Generation,
Artists in Trouble: New Stories, and Door to the River: Essays and
Reviews from the 1960s into the Digital Age. "A writer who looks
deeply into himself and his own experience, confronts what he finds
there with real courage and reports what he has experienced with a
measure of candor that is both breathtaking and, at moments,
heartbreaking." -Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times

"Each book by Jack Kerouac is unique, a telepathic diamond. With
prose set in the middle of his mind, he reveals consciousness
itself in all its syntatic elaboration, detailing the luminous
emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion. Such rich natural writing
is nonpareil in later half XX century, a synthesis of Proust,
Celine, Thomas Wolfe, Hemingway, Genet, Thelonius Monk, Basho,
Charlie Parker, and Kerouac's own athletic sacred insight.
"This entire short novel Tristessa's a narrative meditation
studying a hen, a rooster, a dove, a cat, a chihuaha dog, family
meat, and a ravishing, ravished junky lady, first in their crowded
bedroom, then out to drunken streets, taco stands, & pads at
dawn in Mexico City slums." --Allen Ginsberg
