My Guru and His Disciple

"Isherwood has reinvented the spirit of devotion for the modern reader. If I had to propose a candidate for canonization, Isherwood - wry, self-conscious, scrupulously honest - would get my vote" -- Edmund White New York Times "A masterpiece of spiritual memoir" Los Angeles Times "What emerges is a record of a religious adventure that would have delighted Kierkegaard... Isherwood rejects conventional piety - all the humdrum apparatus of worship - in favor of a direct, even jaunty appreciation of how preposterous, certainly precarious, spirituality can be today." New York Times "The sacred and the profane collide like never before" -- Giles Foden Conde Nast Traveller
