Just finished Eigen in Seoul: Volume One, Madness and Murder by Mike Eigen. No, let me correct that - I read it for the first time, but will never finish it. I have read most, if not all, of Mike's 20 something books, but this latest is something of its own, on its own. It is distinctly difficult to find writers in our field who can maintain the naturalness of the spoken word in reflective conversation, the acuity of the scientific, and the richness of a beatific openness and vulnerability, but Mike grandly achieves all of that in this book. Perhaps because it is transcribed from an unwritten talk which was of incredible depth and scope, perhaps because he is speaking to hearts as well as, or more than, minds, perhaps because although he is the writer he is he writes so that he might speak in this way, to share, to teach, to learn, I don't know. But it is a work of beauty, not for everyone I am sure, but in one way or the other, absolutely is. A small gem of great power, I recommend it, to the max.
