{"product_id":"big-sur","title":"Big Sur","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":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43581587128517,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/Big_20Sur.jpg?v=1716557890","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/big-sur","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
