Audiobook of the Week
To me, Big Sur always felt like a collection of stream-of-consciousness poetry tied together by a plot. Its prose shares a harsh view of Kerouac's swings from zen and hope.. to gutted sadness pain, and alcoholism.
Because of its style, Big Sur works well as an audio book, and I recently I enjoyed this version which brings Kerouac's thoughts to life through tasteful narration.
Written by Jack Kerouac, narrated by Tom Parker.
