Crooked Cucumber by David Chadwick
The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki
An intimate, anecdote-rich portrait of Shunryu Suzuki, the Soto Zen priest who helped introduce Zen practice to the United States. Tracing his early life in Japan, his arrival in San Francisco, and the founding of a vibrant Zen community, it highlights his quiet humor, humility, emphasis on zazen, and the spirit of “beginner’s mind.” Drawing on interviews and memories from students, it captures his everyday presence amid the 1960s counterculture and the enduring legacy he left after his death.
