SATORI IN PARIS, by Jack Kerouac. The zestful, pie-eyed piper of the beats relates the details of a wacky safari to France in a vain effort to track down some supposedly noble Kerouac ancestors...
Much of the poster spotting for the outside world is done by the nine Japanese reporters based in Peking. There are always more fresh posters each morning than all of them together can track down in a single day, and Peking's frigid winter is not conducive to street-corner translating.
