St. Nadie in Winter: Zen Encounters with Loneliness

by Terrance Keenan

Overview

St. Nadie in Winter is a spiritual autobiography that includes Zen poetry, memoir, and raw insight.

There are no easy answers to be found, no easy prescriptions in this stunning twenty-first century Buddhist book. Keenan's world-his boyhood Catholicism, his alcoholism, his struggle to maintain honest relationships with his wife and children, his work as a poet and librarian, his Zen practice—offers a road map for any reader grappling with the dark night of the soul.

Editorial Reviews

Nothing is more common, in the stream of books on spiritual matters, than the memoir-lesson: the vague and self-loving life-story that results in the embrace of the altar. While it could be said that Keenan's narrative follows this broad pattern, Keenan has made this work distinctive not so much by his candor or the results of his efforts as through his uncommon self-perception and the surprising wit and style with which he reveals himself and shows us to ourselves at the same time. An exceptionally fine and engaging work; recommended for most collections. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
