Two ebullient young men search for Truth the Zen way: from marathon wine-drinking bouts, poetry jam sessions, and "yabyum" in San Francisco's Bohemia to solitude in the high Sierras and a vigil atop Desolation Peak in Washington State. Published just a year after *On the Road* put the Beat Generation on the map, *The Dharma Bums* is sparked by Kerouac's expansiveness, humor, and a contagious zest for life.
