About this book

Satori in Paris by Jack Kerouac. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780394174372.

Kerouacs classic tale of Buddhist Enlightenment, on the road in Paris! In Satori in Paris Jack Kerouac, a footloose American of French-Canadian parentage, voyages to France to seek the origins of his surname! But it is also, perhaps more than any of his other novels, a book about Kerouacs lifelong love affair with Eastern mysticism. While conversing with a cab driver he experiences, all of a sudden, a satori -- the Japanese term for a sudden awakening; the Enlightenment of Zen Buddhism. Or as Kerouac calls it, a kick in the eye!
