Satori in Paris

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.
