520    In the summer of 1956, Jack Kerouac hitchhiked from Mill 
       Valley, California, to the North Cascades to spend two 
       months serving as a fire lookout for the US Forest 
       Service. Taking only the Diamond Sutra for reading 
       material, he intended to spend his time in deep 
       contemplation and to achieve enlightenment.  Kerouac's 
       experience on Desolation Peak forms the climax of his 
       novel The Dharma Bums and has also been depicted in part 1
       of Desolation Angels and a chapter in his nonfiction book 
       Lonesome Traveler. None of these versions offers a full, 
       true picture, however; and for that reason, Desolation 
       Peak is essential listening. The highlight of Desolation 
       Peak is the journal he kept, starkly revealing the depth 
       of his poverty, the extremity of his mood swings, and the 
       ongoing arguments with himself over the future direction 
       of his life, his writing, and faith. Along with the 
       journal, he worked on a series of projects, including 
       "Ozone Park," "The Martin Family," and "Desolation 
       Adventure." Also included in this collection are "The 
       Diamondcutter of Perfect Knowing," Kerouac's 
       "transliteration" of the Diamond Sutra, his "Desolation 
       Blues" and "Desolation Pops" poems, and assorted prose 
       sketches and dreams.
