by Chadwick, David, 1945-
Pub by Broadway Books, , NY - c1999. isbn 0767901045 - - 432 p. : illustrated
S. Suzuki was called Crooked Cucumber by his master because
at times he was not an ideal monk candidate.
This biography begins in Japan when Suzuki was young, and
includes detail on being a monk in Japan during WWII.
Later he moved to USA and set up a church in southern
California. It is a positive biography, and gives good
insights to the Zen way of life.
Interestingly enough, he was married.
