this was actually kind of a tough book because of its mundanity (i had to look that up to make sure it was a real word btw). zen is actually a very mundane thing. but trying to teach it through that context can make it hard for a lot of people to grasp the depth of it. you run the risk of making zen seem like mere philosophy. but i guess misunderstanding is always a risk you take when putting your words out into the world.
Also, read the book and it was a huge help. I'm going through a divorce myself and seeing how you lived through it, on top of everything else that was going on was a huge inspiration.
Your first two books are the best I've ever read, so you know I'm going to get this new one! Thank you for your contributions to Zen literature, Sock Monkey. If you have a recommended vendor, let me know. I'll start looking now.
I just got paid today and was thinking about getting a copy but I heard that this book was written by Genpo Roshi and now that I know it was written by the monkey I don't know if I'll be getting a copy ;)

fyi, i was being sarcastic. it was kind of a zen pun. just thought i'd mention it since sometimes sarcasm gets lost in type.

I was being truthful. And your earlier remark evidently holds more truth than even you realise.
