In "Wake Up," Jack Kerouac presents a retelling of the life of Prince Siddhartha Gotama, who renounced his affluent upbringing in pursuit of Enlightenment. Originally written in 1955 and published for the first time, this work draws from various canonical scriptures to offer both an insightful narrative of the Buddha's journey and a clear overview of essential Buddhist teachings. Kerouac's lifelong fascination with Buddhism deeply influences his exploration, reflecting his spiritual evolution.
