Overview

American Zen failure Chadwick this time is in a Western Australian caper. He went there, he writes in the introduction, on a whim to visit a dear chum, meet her family, friends, and homeland, curious to explore, anticipating only the warmth of new acquaintance, the excitement of unknown flora and fauna, the joy of walking about. There was that, but then there was the unexpected as events propelled me with brazen mates into a bizarre treasure hunt for another lass, one in danger of the grave. Join Chadwick and his cast of curious characters - musicians, techie, wild woman, sweet woman, gangsters, ordinary people, in their search To Find the Girl from Perth.

Author Information

David Chadwick, a Texas raised wanderer, college dropout, bumbling social activist and hobbyhorse musician, began his formal Zen study under Shunryu Suzuki-roshi in 1966 at the age of twenty-one. Many years later, Suzuki's successor, Zentatsu Richard Baker-roshi, shaking his head, said of Chadwick: Years of expensive Zen training gone to waste. In 1988 friends and supporters underwrote Chadwick's journey to Japan so he could begin an open-ended period of voluntary exile and remedial education. In Japan he practiced more Zen, got married, studied Japanese language and culture, taught English and messed around. He returned to America, wrote books, songs, websites, blogs, moved to Bali in 2013 where he lives with fourth wife, Katrinka McKay. He has two sons from the first and third marriages: Kelly born in 1973 and Clay born in 1991. His main work is on the Cuke Project to preserve the legacy of Shunryu Suzuki and those whose paths crossed his. Tons on him can be found at cuke.com with links from the home page to that and much more.
