Two young men , Jack Kerouac and Gary Snyder, search for Truth the Zen way, from yabyum and poetry in Marin County, Berkeley and San Francisco to solitude in the High Sierras and a vigil atop Desolation Peak in Washington State. Published just a year after On the Road, which put the Beat Generation on the literary map, "The Dharma Bums" helped launch the "rucksack revolution". In honor of the 50th anniversary of this classic Beat text, Viking has published this new hardcover edition, prefaced with a letter from Henry Miller to the publisher, remarking on his first reading of the book. Readers' Reviews: Hardcover, 187 pages
