Satori in Paris and Pic by Jack Kerouac

3.0

---

Satori in Paris is depressing. Drunk, aging Kerouac -- near death, though he could have never known it -- stumbles around Paris alone in search of his ancestry. Pic, on the other hand, is very interesting and completely unlike anything else he ever wrote. Unfortunately, it feels rushed and unfinished. But it gives a glimpse of where Kerouac's career could have been headed if not for his tragic death.
