Not getting any? Stuck in a dead-end job? Poverty got you by the balls? Do the few lovers you find turn out to be psychotic? Does it seem as if a sadistic "higher-power" is working your last nerve? E.K. Willey, the American Zen poet, knows all about such things. Through 12 years of almost consistent despair, he exploits and studies the absurdity of circumstance, and yet somehow finds the humor of it all. Put simply, this is the story of a young man's quest for complete spiritual awakening on a planet seemingly devoid of it. It's a story of loneliness, homelessness, beer, friends, scoundrels, psychedelics, lust, involuntary sexual deprivation, philosophy, art, Zen, and a mystical muse by the name of Shokya Candalla.
