What is Some of the Dharma about?
Written During A Critical Period Of His Life, Some Of The Dharma Is A Key Volume In Jack Kerouac's Vast Autobiographical Canon. He Began Writing It In 1953 As Reading Notes On Buddhism Intended For His Friend, Poet Allen Ginsberg. As Kerouac's Buddhist Study And Meditation Practice Intensified, What Had Begun As Notes Evolved Into A Vast And All-encompassing Work Of Nonfiction Into Which He Poured His Life, Incorporating Poems, Haiku, Prayers, Journal Entries, Meditations, Fragments Of Letters, Ideas About Writing, Overheard Conversations, Sketches, Blues, And More. The Final Manuscript, Completed In 1956, Was As Visually Complex As The Writing: Each Page Was Unique, Typed In Patterns And Interlocking Shapes. The Elaborate Form Which Kerouac So Painstakingly Gave The Book On His Manual Typewriter Is Re-created In This Typeset Facsimile. Jack Kerouac. Includes Index.
