I knew that eventually I would come across A Sense of the Whole at a used bookstore. And here it is at Recycle Bookstore on The Alameda in San José! And it’s right next to Mountains and Rivers Without End, right where it belongs. When I returned a month later, both were gone.
Also on that shelf you’ll find Alan Soldofsky’s In the Buddha Factory. Here’s a link to a review by Gary Singh.
