Description
The Dharma Bums is a witty and moving philosophical novel that explores the journey of self-discovery through the lens of Zen Buddhist thought. Jack Kerouac's work charts the spiritual quest of a group of friends as they seek the lesson of solitude and experience the Zen way of life.
In one moment, they find themselves in the high Sierras, and in the next, they are in wildly Bohemian San Francisco, where the ascetic route of Zen is hard to follow amidst the city's poetry jam sessions and marathon drinking bouts.
Published in 2000, this Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Ann Douglas. If you're interested in Kerouac's work, you might also like his novel On the Road, also available in Penguin Classics.
