From the renowned Beat writer, Kerouac's colorful and meandering search for his family history, now reissued following his centenary celebrationSatori in Paris is the semi-autobiographical tale of Jack Kerouac's trip to France in search of his heritage. Beginning in Paris and moving west to Brittany, Kerouac traces the paths of his ancestors and explores his own understanding of the Buddhism that came to define his beliefs. From his familiar milieu of strangers and all-night conversations in seedy bars, to a pivotal cab ride in which he experiences Buddhism's satori--a feeling of sudden understanding--Kerouac's affecting and revolutionary writing transports the reader. Published at the height of his fame and showcasing his mature talent, Satori in Paris is a lyrical, rollicking tale of philosophy, identity, and the power and strangeness of travel.

A book to scare you sober

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 26 de setembro de 2020

Fairly disjointed novella that captures a drunken and drink damaged Kerouac on a ten day bender in France in 1965 (originally intended as a longer trip around Europe that he cuts short, because), a trip he takes to track down his roots, following a strange obsession with the history of his name. You feel a certain pity for a confused Kerouac as he wanders from bar to bar in Paris and Brest, visits a couple of libraries for info, misses airplanes and trains, can’t find hotel rooms and is often fearful of getting mugged, wandering in the rain. Nonetheless, there’s a certain Kerouac magic in some passages (getting drunk on the train, riding a cab across Paris), but you have to wade through some babble, some boring drunken disquisitions on the history of the name Kerouac and the sort of exhausting confusion of a middle aged alcoholic. Seemingly unintentionally, the book does a great job of capturing the tragedy of alcoholism.

Amusing, engaging, and soaked in alcohol!

Avaliado no Reino Unido em 30 de outubro de 2012

This is Kerouac's incredibly drunken account of his time in Paris as middle-age consumed him. It's a witty, amusing, and thoroughly irrelevant story, but it showcases his alcoholism in full flow. Satori (kick in the eye) In Paris has very little to do with Zen Buddhism (the cover picture is thoroughly inappropriate) and is all about his inebriated trivails around Paris attempting to piece together some family history. He engages with locals rather unsuccessfully, marvels at the Parisian lifestyle, and provides a very entertaining piece of writing.

This isn't for anyone new to the writer; purchase On The Road or Dharma Bums before coming to this. Big Sur is also a vital read to show his terrible suffering at the hands of his drinking problem. Once you're done there then Satori is a funny little aside in the life of a great, and ever endearing, writer.
