The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac First Paperback Edition

Two spirited young men embark on a quest for enlightenment the Zen way: from extended wine-drinking marathons and poetic jam sessions in San Francisco’s Bohemia, to moments of yabyum, and solitude amidst the lofty Sierras, culminating in a vigil atop Desolation Peak in Washington State. Released shortly after On the Road propelled the Beat Generation to the forefront, The Dharma Bums is ignited by Kerouac’s boundless spirit, wit, and an infectious passion for life. One of Kerouac’s most popular books.
