Six days on the road with an enigmatic holy man who answers every question with a riddle is not what he'd planned. But in an effort to westernize his passenger--and amuse himself--he decides to show the monk some \"American fun\" along the way. From a chocolate factory in Hershey to a bowling alley in South Bend, from a Cubs game at Wrigley field to his family farm near Bismarck, Otto is given the remarkable opportunity to see his world--and more important, his life--through someone else's eyes. Gradually, skepticism yields to amazement as he realizes that his companion might just be the real thing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Roland Merullo's masterful hands, Otto tells his story with all the wonder, bemusement, and wry humor of a man who unwittingly finds what he's missing in the most unexpected place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565126169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Roland Merullo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659950026908,"sku":"9781565126169","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_923c0ffd-d414-44db-a5c0-3d33b88ede0d.jpg?v=1603895758","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/breakfast-with-buddha-9781565126169","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
