"Written during a critical period of his life, Some of the Dharma is a key volume in Jack Kerouac's vast autobiographical canon. He began writing it in 1953 as reading notes on Buddhism intended for his friend, poet Allen Ginsberg. As Kerouac's Buddhist study and meditation practice intensified, what had begun as notes evolved into a vast and all~encompassing work of nonfiction into which he poured his life, incorporating poems, haiku, prayers, journal entries, meditations, fragments of letters, ideas about writing, overheard conversations, sketches, blues, and more. The final manuscript, completed in 1956, was as visually complex as the writing: each page was unique, typed in patterns and interlocking shapes. The elaborate form which Kerouac so painstakingly gave the book on his manual typewriter is recreated in this typeset facsimile. Kerouac's first novel, The Town and the City, was published in 1950. By 1953 he had developed his unique spontaneous prose style, and written five more novels, including On the Road, but New York publishers turned them down. Discouraged, he gave up on the publishing world, turned to Buddhist practice, and, in chronicling it, developed a new nonfiction form. Passionate, playful, ecstatic, filled with humor, insight, beautiful language, sorrow and struggle, Some of the Dharma is a far~ranging and extremely revealing work. Though written at the height of his commitment to Buddhism, it sheds an immense amount of light on Kerouac's entire literary career. It is one of his most profound and original works and confirms that Kerouac was not only 'on the road' but also 'on the Path'.".
