Why aren’t there more houses, billboards, hotels, lights on at night, walkways down to the beaches, parking lots, traffic lights, bathrooms, interpretive signs, ? This is the best book on the history of Big Sur, its land use and challenges.
Focus on Miller’s years living here in Big Sur during which he wrote his most important books, married and divorced twice, raised 2 children, painted watercolors, and tried to live out an aesthetic and personal credo of self-realization.
Each year millions of people come down coast to visit Big Sur. This book is both a natural history of this amazing region and an excellent guide to its extensive public lands. Big Sur is world famous for awe-inspiring scenery.
In this volume, essential poems selected from a controversial poet’s major works provide an excellent overview of his style and introduce to his inimitable voice, while also gathering in one place some of his best work.
