Continuing the work begun in The Emergence of Buddhist American Literature, editors John Whalen-Bridge and Gary Storhoff and the volume's contributors turn to the most recent developments, revealing how mid-1970s through early twenty-first-century literature has employed Buddhist texts, principles, and genres. Just as Buddhism underwent indigenization when it moved from India to Tibet, to China, and to Japan, it is now undergoing that process in the United States. While some will find literary creativity in this process, others lament a loss of authenticity. The book begins with a look at the American reception of Zen and at the approaches to Dharma developed by African Americans. The work of consciously Buddhist and Buddhist-influenced writers such as Don DeLillo, Gary Snyder, and Jackson Mac Low is analyzed, and a final section of the volume contains interviews and discussions with contemporary Buddhist writers. These include an interview with Gary Snyder; a discussion with Maxine Hong Kingston and Charles Johnson; and discussions of competing American and Asian values at the Beat- and Buddhist-inspired writing program at Naropa University with poets Joanne Kyger, Reed Bye, Keith Abbott, Andrew Schelling, and Elizabeth Robinson. 410 0$aSUNY series in Buddhism and American culture. 517 3 $aBuddhist American literature into the twenty-first century 606 $aAmerican literature$xBuddhist authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xBuddhist influences 606 $aBuddhism and literature$zUnited States 606 $aBuddhism in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xBuddhist authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xBuddhist influences. 615 0$aBuddhism and literature 615 0$aBuddhism in literature. 676 $a810.9/382943 701 $aWhalen-Bridge$b John$f1961-$01595452 701 $aStorhoff$b Gary$f1947-$01595453 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824652303321 996 $aWriting as enlightenment$94033342 997 $aUNINA
