A review by lapsedmarxist
The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac

3.25

an exceptionally ordinary book. a short novel that cosplays as a short biographical book. it delves and deals with the exploration of admiration and friendship. he talks about the perils of putting people on pedestals. there is some cultural appropriation and this can either come off as the dharma bums appreciation of buddhism or them not knowing what they are doing. its short length is its strongest point. it is interesting if nothing else.
