An endearing and humorous account of a young American woman's search for love and enlightenment in a Zen temple in Japan in the 1960s.
Reseña del editor
A Zen Romance is a look back at one young woman's search for true love and deeper meaning in and around a Buddhist temple in the Kyoto of the 1960s. Boehm was a college student with a philosophical bent during the years when Eastern religions were a rising fad on American campuses. There was no love lost, though, between her and the humorless "Zen freaks" she encountered at school. She went to Japan's ancient capital to study the language and, as she jokingly announced, "to get away from Zen".
But this was not so easy: the apartment she found was next door to a monastery. Over several months of studying and taking meals at the temple, she gained the trust of her neighbor monks with her wry sense of humor and unswerving generosity. She gradually earned the friendship of all, losing her heart in the process to Zen and several of its practitioners.

Paperback. First Edition Thus [1997]; First Printing indicated. Fine in Near Fine DJ: Book shows no flaws; the binding is square and secure; the text clean. The DJ shows only the mildest rubbing and the faintest sunning to the peach-toned background field of the rear panel; the price is intact. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 258 pages. The hardcover edition was published the previous year. Paperback: French Wraps [with DJ]. I loved 'A Zen Romance'. It is the true story of a young woman's years in Japan in the sixties and her experiences in all facets of the world she encountered - religions, monasteries, men, food and many wise and not so wise, fascinating characters. Far from being a self-aggrandizing memoir, a travelogue or a spiritual manual, this book reads like a rich, delicious novel. Sandra Boliver Boehm writes with a sense of humor about her college-age self, and with meticulous and sensual detail about her experiences in Japan in the 1970's. Her relationship with the men in the Zen monastery she lived near is a great story in itself. Another story is that throughout she was a "militant virgin." Her descriptions of the food she ate are enough to make a reader crave sushi every night. This is a phenominal coming-of-age tale, and a must for any intelligent young woman with a lust for adventure. What I especially loved was that she kept her perspective and especially her sense of humor. Everyone should read this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.
