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.
