Shunryu Suzuki is known to countless readers as the author of the modern spiritual classic 'Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind.' This most influential teacher comes vividly to life in 'Crooked Cucumber.' To create his intimate and engrossing narrative, David Chadwick draws on Suzuki's own words and the memories of his students, friends and family, interspersed with previously unpublished passages from Suzuki's talks and correspondence.
A remarkable biography of a truly remarkable man.
