"One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple."
From "The Dharma Bums", by Jack Kerouac.
Jack Kerouac was a central figure of the Beat Generation, best known for his spontaneous prose and a thirst for exploration, both geographic and spiritual. His novel "The Dharma Bums" reflects this spirit, delving into the adventures of two friends who immerse themselves in nature, Buddhism, and a quest for personal truth during their journey across America.
