Sobre este libro

Durante más de veinte años, Natalie Goldberg ha desafiado y animado a escritores con sus libros y talleres. En su revolucionario primer libro, combina la meditación zen con la escritura de una forma nueva. La práctica de la escritura, como ella la llama, no es distinta de otras formas de práctica zen: "se sostiene en dos mil años de estudio de la mente".
