Only a few of these stories touch on the Dharma explicitly and this book takes you on an inward tour across the whole world-to the jungles of Indonesia, a fog-shrouded park in San Francisco, the sun-blistered African veldt, a Burmese monastery surrounded by gun-fire, and the church-like sanctuary of a Nebraska barn, just to name a few. Collectively these stories paint a living portrait of the face of Buddhism, and readers may discover that that face is a strangely familiar one-and that every journey only ever leads home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by Keith Kachtick--the author of \u003ci\u003eHungry Ghost: A Novel\u003c\/i\u003e (A New York Times Notable Book), \u003ci\u003eYou Are Not Here and Other Works of Buddhist Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e--offers more surprising and transcendent work from some of fiction's famous names, alongside that of names you've never heard before--but surely will again: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLama Surya Das, Keith Kachtick, Robert Olen Butler, Kate Wheeler, Anne Donovan, Samantha Schoech, Mary Yukari Waters, Andrew Foster Altschul, Jess Row, Anh Chi Pham, Sean Murphy, Pico Iyer, Dan Zigmond, Michele Martin, Sean Hoade, Jeff Davis, Jake Lorfing, Geshe Michael Roach, Anne Carolyn Klein, Dean Sluyter, Mark Salzman, and Hal Hallstein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Kachtick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0861712919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861712915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisdom Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.08w x 0.65d","brand":"Keith Kachtick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072848916735,"sku":"9780861712915","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0df46185-5fdc-4041-b525-927368832bff.jpg?v=1685444292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-are-not-here-and-keith-kachtick-9780861712915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
