Xen: The Zen of the Other (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798710187395)

In a world devoid of rites of passage, Ezra Buckley finds himself confronted with the genuine prospect of having a life-changing, Liminal experience in the woods of Big Sur. What is it that he experiences? Is it the legendary Watchers of Big Sur phenomena or something else? Will he survive it? Is it even real? Xen is a work that confronts the questions of identity, modernity, life, the other, and the place for rites of passage in the modern world.

"...wildly creative experiments with form...through a down-to-earth lens and with a sense of humor. ... I felt spoken to many times as Ezra articulated his own frustrations with life and with his own expectations of the world." - DAVID AMITO, award-winning Actor. Writer, Producer, Director of Antrum

"This is tantalizing, intriguing, and weird stuff and we recommend it highly." -Original Falcon Newsletter

"I just finished reading this a few minutes ago. I guess "finished" isn't really the correct wording... because I've really just begun." Reader on Reddit

"What I appreciate about Buckley's book is the sense of desperate and furious will-to-life/power, coupled with a playfulness that is wonderful." - Julian Langer
