{"product_id":"books-thank-you-and-ok-by-david-chadwick","title":"Thank You and OK!","description":"David Chadwick, a Texas-raised wanderer, college dropout, bumbling social activist, and hobbyhorse musician, began his study under Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in 1966. In 1988 Chadwick flew to Japan to begin a four-year period of voluntary exile and remedial Zen education. In \u003ci\u003eThank You and OK!\u003c\/i\u003e he recounts his experiences both inside and beyond the monastery walls and offers insightful portraits of the characters he knew in that world-the bickering monks, the patient abbot, the trotting housewives, the ominous insects, the bewildered bureaucrats, and the frustrating English-language students-as they worked inexorably toward initiating him into the mysterious ways of Japan. Whether you're interested in Japan, Buddhism, or exotic travel writing, this book is great fun.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674698244369,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590304709.jpg?v=1781535167","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-thank-you-and-ok-by-david-chadwick","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
