Peter Coyote

Coyote knows how to tell an interesting story. He mentions 2 other memoirs he's already written, and presumabley they each focus on different aspects of his life. This one seems to show how his whole life led to his interest in Zen Buddhism. I didn't know who he was before starting this book, but as the story went along it was dealing with social events I was familiar with. With his strong anti-capitalist bent, I was surprised when it turns out he becomes a movie star, & starts dressing the part. While it's one thing to realize that all material things are fleeting, he doesn't show any environmental consideration for his actions. He's smart/intelligent but has so many hangups from how his father treated him that he makes some stupid choices.
Heard as an audiobook, so it's hard to give an adequate review.… (meer)
