The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, Ann Douglas

ISBN: 9780141184883
Release Date: 03 Aug 2000
Average rating: (read by 48 members)

Categories: Modern fiction , Classic fiction

"The Dharma Bums" appeared just one year after the author's explosive "On The Road" had put the Beat Generation on the literary map and Kerouac on the best-seller list. The same expansiveness, humour and contagious zest for life that sparked the earlier novels sparks this one too, but through a more cohesive story. The books follow two young men engaged in a passionate search for dharma or truth. Their major adventure is the pursuit of the Zen way, which takes them climbing into the high sierras to seek the lesson of solitude.
