The Sandstone Papers On the Crisis of Contemporary Life
Author: Martin Glass
An elaborate but engrossing allegory. Glass presents a fictional conference and provides us with the papers delivered -- in startlingly different voices and from different perspectives -- by the various participants, including a nun and a beatnik poet, all commenting on the state of modern spirituality. An utterly unique volume.

This brilliant book--unlike any other I've seen--presents a fictional conference to which various voices representing contemporary philosophies and religions have been invited, including a beatnik poet and a nun. In their wildly different voices and from their wildly different perspectives they discuss spirituality in the modern age. You get the experience of having been inside a remarkable collection of brains and having looked at the world through many eyes.
