Summary
Biography of the popular and controversial Zen philosopher whose bestsellers on oriental mysticism helped create a counter-culture in the 1960s. This work assesses the impact of a flawed guru, a shy English born scholar whose odd mixture of wisdom and… childishness marked the life of a very human sage. Covers his heavy drinking, loneliness, three marriages, and sexual adventures. Some strong language. 1986
