Book Summary
It often takes a crisis to see what a life's shape has been, to learn what really matters. For Peter J. Conradi, acclaimed biographer of Iris Murdoch, the moment came in 1982. This is his account of the life-journey on which he subsequently embarked; a self-help book for cynics, it makes clear that "going Buddhist" is neither a quick fix nor a one-shot deal. Drawing on his conversations with Murdoch, and the remarkable letters they exchanged, Conradi seeks to explain the beauty of Buddhism--a religion increasingly relevant to Westerners. Peter Conradi's recent books include the widely hailed" Iris Murdoch: A Life."
