Publisher's Comments
A must-read tale for spiritual seekers. Special Karma is a novelized account of the author's experiences in a Zen Buddhist monastery in America, the first to address the issue of sexual misconduct by a Zen master. Using a novelist's freedom to explore the vulnerabilities and shortcomings of the book's characters, Special Karma also harnesses the novel's ability to create a richly detailed world - one that the reader can inhabit and explore. "There are vegetables to cook and clothes to wash and periods of intense silent meditation and encounters with fellow students ... all of it flowing smoothly and with a wonderful redolence of things just out of reach. It is a quiet book whose carefully-worded sentences build a cocoon of understanding around the reader." (Genkaku Adam Fisher, author of Answer Your Love Letters: Footnotes to a Zen Practice) Find out more and join the conversation at: SpecialKarma.WordPress.com.
