De retour d'un France, à la recherche de ses origines, Jean Louis Lebris de Kerouac, le chef de file du mouvement beat, s'aperçoit qu'il a reçu une sorte d'illumination, un satori. Ne sachant à quel épisode précis attribuer cette révélation, il décide de revivre avec le lecteur ces dix journées passées dans notre pays, journées où abondent les situations inattendues, et où l'on sent ce besoin de sympathie et de chaleur humaine que Kerouac manifestait en maintes occasions.
