The Buddhist tradition is rich in stories, especially those that help teach the sutras. You Are Not Here and Other Works of Buddhist Fiction takes the sutra tradition into new and unexpected places. Classic Buddhist themes the — reality and illusion, stillness and being, meditation and action the — are the inspiration for these stories, but the appeal of these powerful, often quirky and provocative works spreads far beyond just students. Like its predecessor, this collection includes both new voices and established masters such as Pico Iyer, Anne Donovan, Robert Olen Butler, and Mark Salzman.

A wonderful diverse read!,

This review is from: You Are Not Here and Other Works of Buddhist Fiction (Paperback)
I think Keith Kachtick has really done an excellent job of selecting a solid selection of writing for this second anthology of Buddhist fiction from Wisdom Publications. While Zen tells us its best to let go of "picking and choosing," if I had to, I'd say that this second anthology offers a more consistent and satisfying selection than the first anthology.

Buddhist Fiction Collection,

This review is from: You Are Not Here and Other Works of Buddhist Fiction (Paperback)
An unusual collection and much needed assembly of great authors and their perspectives touching in one way or another on the topic of Buddhism. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and finished it in one day. A refreshing break from the "heavier" volumes out theres on the topic today.
