The Sandstone Papers: On the Crisis of Contemporary Life
andygaus avatar reviewed A fictional conference, a real discussion on + 4 more book reviews


This brilliant book--unlike any other I've seen--presents a fictional conference to which various voices representing contemporary philosophies and religions have been invited, including a beatnik poet and a nun. In their wildly different voices and from their wildly different perspectives they discuss spirituality in the modern age. You get the experience of having been inside a remarkable collection of brains and having looked at the world through many eyes.
