Cuss!: The Ancient and Transcendental Art of Hangin' Out

Not getting any? Stuck in a dead-end job? Poverty got you by the balls? Do the few lovers you find turn out to be psychotic? Does it seem as if a sadistic "Higher Power" is working your last nerve? Shokya Candalla, America's Zen poet, knows all about such things. Through 12 years of almost consistent despair, he exploits and studies the absurdity of circumstance, extracting from it what we all need to survive: the humor.Put simply, this is the story of a young man's quest for spiritual awakening on a world seemingly devoid of it. It's a story of loneliness, homelessness, beer, friends, scoundrels, psychedelics, lust, involuntary sexual deprivation, philosophy, art and Zen, in its truest form. It's the party you just can't talk about!
