THE RAINMAN'S THIRD CURE: An Irregular Education.
Edition: First printing.
Berkeley, CA: Counterpoint, (2015) dj. Hardcover first edition - A reflective memoir in which Coyote describes the mentors who shaped him - a violent, intimidating father, a be-bop Bass player, an ex game-warden who initates him into the laws of nature, a gay dancer in Martha Grahams company who introduces him to Mexico and marijuanas, beat poet Gary Snyder, who introduces him to Zen practice, and others. His initial flirtation with Zen deepens into a life-long avocation, and his ordination as a priest.
