Dharma Wanderer

About This Novel

"Dharma Wanderer" is a novel by Jack Kerouac, the American writer and author of "On the Road". In a semi-autobiographical and semi-fictional way, Kerouac describes the experiences of the protagonist Ray and his friends in the 1950s. They backpacked and hitchhiked across the American continent, placing their affection on nature and Eastern philosophy, especially Zen Buddhism. Like "On the Road", the characters in the book can all find prototypes in reality, such as Gary Snyder (Jaffe), Allen Ginsberg (Alva), Peter Orlovsky (George), Philip Waylon (Warren), etc. "Dharma Wanderer" advocates freedom on the road, anti-mainstream lifestyle, anti-consumerism, and finding spiritual freedom through Eastern philosophy and religion. It is a spiritual awakening that has had a significant impact on a generation of Western youth. It encourages people to maintain a full heart and the ability to be moved.
