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

4.0

A lovely sketchbook of ideas about three figures in the author's life - Samuel Beckett, Norman Mailer and his Zen teacher - and their effect on Shainberg's life and practice.
No one has ever captured the difficulty of the first few hours of a Sesshin that I have read. The rest of the book is fairly breezy and interesting.
