Title: Tilting the bottle at Big Sur
Product review: A very good and heartfelt book. One of Kerouac's best. Brave and awful in it's honesty... The cabin at Big Sur, Mien Mo Mountain, the beatniks of San Francisco, the fog, the surf, the canyons, the author sitting on the rocks alongside the Pacific Ocean and writing down all that the ocean tells him, the paranoid ravages of alcohol delirium tremens, the wild imaginings of all those evil forces out to get him, the agonizing, the haunting, the warlocks and the UFOs...Poor Jack suffered through it all--but by his on volition! Most of the time he was only "marginally there" but he still composed himself long enough for the writing of this novel. At the end of it all you wonder how he ever did it.--Alex Sydorenko, Chicago, 2001.
