"Chadwick's biography provides a generous glimpse of the humanity and message of one of the great spiritual teachers of the modern world."
-Publisher's Weekly




Artists, school teachers, poets, and students of Asian culture and thought began to practice zazen, Zen meditation, with Shunryu Suzuki early in the morning. Crooked Cucumber tells the story of his life and the development of his teaching and the San Francisco Zen center. It includes many previously unpublished excerpts from his lectures, lots of great teaching stories, and a unique, unromantic look at a Zen master's whole life.
