Satori in Paris is a rollicking autobiographical account of Kerouac's search for his heritage in France, and lands the author in his familiar milieu of seedy bars and all-night conversations. Pic is Kerouac's final novel and one of his most unusual. Narrated by ten-year-old Pictorial Review Jackson in a North Carolina vernacular, the novel charts the adventures of Pic and his brother Slim as they travel from the rural South to Harlem in the 1940s.</div> 56410 12 1 1988 Satori in Paris and Pic: Two Novels (B-541) total:460|5:68|4:128|3:166|2:85|1:13| 460 1533 613 20 4 0 false false Wed Nov 26 04:40:33 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 04:47:25 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 07 22:14:45 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 22:27:20 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue May 29 20:24:29 -0700 2007 Tue May 29 20:24:29 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 23 08:46:21 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 08:49:12 -0700 2009 Satori in Paris alone. I don't remember shit about Pic though if it's anywhere near as good as I remember Satori in Paris being then it is heinously underrated Kerouac. Kerouac is still an asshole but he's a very different sort of asshole here.]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Sep 28 07:32:58 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 28 07:35:08 -0700 2007
Satori in Paris is more like Kerouac keeping a journal in Paris. It was good at times and lame at times. Not really one of my favorites.

But Pic! Pic is a great short read.

Pic was pretty much On the Road as a buddy/brotherhood novel. I could have done without.more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 26 06:49:34 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 26 06:51:57 -0800 2007 On The Road, I was a bit dissappointed in this collection. One gets the sense that K's creative energies were tapped out by this point, that he had nothing new to say, and his unique style seems tired and almost gimmicky. more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Mar 20 20:25:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 20 20:26:34 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1978 Tue Nov 18 11:48:20 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 11:51:24 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue May 13 15:30:40 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 15:32:01 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Nov 13 13:12:05 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 13 13:15:55 -0800 2007
