Items related to Jack Kerouac Satori in Paris (Penguin Modern Classics)...
This semi-autobiographical tale of Kerouac's own trip to France, to trace his ancestors and explore his own understanding of the Buddhism that came to define his beliefs, contains some of Kerouac's most lyrical descriptions. From his reports of the strangers he meets and the all-night conversations he enjoys in seedy bars in Paris and Brittany, to the moment in a cab he experiences Buddhism's satori - a feeling of sudden awakening - Kerouac's affecting and revolutionary writing transports the reader. Published at the height of his fame, "Satori in Paris" is a hectic tale of philosophy, identity and the powerful strangeness of travel.

About the Author:
Jack Kerouac (1922 - 1969) was an American novelist, poet, artist and part of the Beat Generation. Most of his life was spent in the vast landscapes of America or living with his mother, with whom he spent most of his life. Kerouac's best known works are On the Road and The Dharma Bums.
Review:
A remarkable ear for the cadences of a phrase or sentence, a sense of how to register in words the sheer, sweet flow of things * Guardian *
