The Genuine Article: Stories and Other Diversions

These intimate essays let you know what it feels like to play host to Frank Sinatra for four hours, and what it's like to be come a student of the Dalai Lama for three days, and to have your hair cut by the Barber of Seville, or have your pocket picked by a Spanish gypsy. The subjects are far ranging. One describes the benefits of pondering. Another deplores our current telephone practices. The short stories take you on an adventure in Bali, and tell of a Western drama on the high plains of Texas. This reader-friendly prose is punctuated by wit, wisdom, and whimsy.
