A Smile in the Mind's Eye: An Adventure into Zen Philosophy

Durrellâ€™s remarkable memoir of his spiritual journey with famed Taoist philosopher Jolan Chang

Beginning with their first meeting over lunch at Lawrence Durrellâ€™s Provencal home, Durrell and Jolan Changâ€”renowned Taoist philosopher and expert on Eastern sexualityâ€”developed an enduring relationship based on mutual spiritual exploration. Durrellâ€™s autobiographical rumination on their friendship and on Taoism recounts the authorâ€™s existential ponderings, starting with his introduction to the mystical and enigmatic â€œsmile in the mindâ€™s eye.â€ From parsimony, cooking, and yoga to poetry, Petrarch, and Nietzche, A Smile in the Mindâ€™s Eye is a charming tale of a writerâ€™s spiritual and philosophical awakening.
