Reviews
This is an innovative reading and presentation of Zen literature. It breaks new ground in the study of Zen and in the interpretation of koan literature, setting a standard for these in terms of scholarly rigor and broad accessibility that is truly impressive. Opening a Mountain will encourage us to read koans in much more articulate literary, sociological, and historical setting than we have previously managed. This is an excellent book. --Philosophy East & West<br> This is an innovative reading and presentation of Zen literature.
