Jack Kerouac / THE DHARMA BUMS 1st Edition 1959

Description: The Spiritual Sequel to ON THE ROADTHE DHARMA BUMSBy Jack Kerouac(1959)First UK edition of Kerouac's classic Beat novel, published the year after the U.S. edition, in the striking Bernard Blatch dust jacket.Fine in very good plus jacket."The closer you get to real matter, rock air fire and wood, boy, the more spiritual the world is." Written over ten marathon sessions in 1957 (also in scroll format, like ON THE ROAD), DHARMA BUMS follows Kerouac's and Gary Snyder's literary stand-ins as they sample the Beat scene and ponder Buddhism. "I'd sit at the typewriter and do 20,000 or 15,000 words," Kerouac remembered in 1966. "I can't do that anymore. Got to be an athlete." It remains a much-loved work.
