Street Zen, the Life and Work of Issan Dorsey, inscribed and with two handprinted cards by Schneider
Boston: Shambhala, 1983. First Printing. Wraps. Inscribed warmly to either relatives or friends and signed by author, also with two handprinted cards with calligraphy and designs by Schneider, from 1983 and 1984. Issan Dorsey, a drag queen, junkie, alcoholic, and commune leader, became a Buddhist teacher. "From his days as a gorgeous female impersonator in the 1950s to the LSD experiences that set him on the spiritual path, Nissan's life was never conventional. In 1989 after 20 years of Zen practice, he became Abbott of San Francisco's Hartford St. Zen Center, where he founded the Maitri hospice for AIDS patients." Very good. Item #H40861
