Product Description

Edited by Michael Hotz The original Dharma Bum, Sokei-an (1182-1945) arrived in San Francisco in 1906 with the mission of bringing Zen to America. He wandered the country alone, leading a wild bohemian life in Greenwich Village in the Roaring Twenties and becoming the first Zen master to make his permanent home in America, not to mention the first to write, lecture and give interviews in English. Here, the fascinating details of his long and winding life are conveyed with charm, ironic humour, and a distinctive, intimate voice.
