Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Satori In Paris (Duluoz Legend)

Although he was born and raised in Massachusetts, Jack Kerouac's family was French-Canadian, a fact of which he was proud. Published in 1967, when Kerouac was at the height of his fame, this book tells the story of a ten-day visit to Paris and Brittany in search of his ancestors. On this hectic odyssey, fascinated by everything and everyone he met, from a faded French beauty in a Montparnasse gangster bar to one of his strange, foppish Breton namesakes, Kerouac experienced a feeling of transcendence, a Satori, which was to the Beat generation the culmination of all experience.

Assessment Regarding Books Satori In Paris (Duluoz Legend)

I last read this book in my late teens. Now, almost thirty years later I read it again in one sitting. I loved Satori in Paris first time around, pretty much like I loved all of Kerouac's writing. However, this time the book feels as if it is one written by a writer at the end of his greatness. There are hints of Kerouac's often thrilling prose but that is largely obscured by the overwhelming feeling (for me anyway) that this is a man at the end of the road. What was once great and flowed

Sparkling, lyrical and Beat-iful writing: Jack Kerouac down (and not quite out) with the Parisian hepcats. File under Jeanology...

well this is entertaining, and if you love Kerouac and need your fix it does the job, though badly. I wouldnt particularly recommend it, though as I said Kerouac lovers will always find something or other of interest in it.

Bit random at times but interesting and still full of good adventures and amusing moments!



I was never a fan of 'On The Road', and have found other works of his to be a mixed bag. This though is one of my favourites, but not simply down to the fact it's Paris. He was a bit older here, in his forties, and shows a more mature side in his writing. It's still witty and amusing and alcohol is always in full flow, as he moves around Paris attempting to piece together some family history. He mingles with the locals rather unsuccessfully (don't know how they would have perceived him), marvels

The title should be "Alcohol in Paris", as Kerouac most certainly talks more about his drinks rather than "a moment of enlightment". Kerouac at his usual, messing around, drinking, travelling from place to place like a madman.
