Four Men Shaking: Searching for Sanity with Samuel Beckett, Norman Mailer, and My Perfect Zen Teacher by Lawrence Shainberg

4.0

The struggles that art demands. The failure in every piece of art produced.

Transcendence through form; transcendence through formlessness; your brain congratulates you on transcending - no transcendence at all.

Mailer and his ego; Beckett and his humility; Shainberg and his need; Roshi above, before, behind; within.

Death needs no appointment. Shainberg is the last man shaking.
