"It's hard to know when you're having a breakdown in New York City. The symptoms of living here, succeeding here, and losing your mind here are almost identical." So begins Matousek's 1996 breakout memoir about leaving a fast-track publishing life (working for pop artist Andy Warhol at Interview Magazine) and hitting the dharma trail in search of a meaningful life and spiritual wisdom. Hailed by Publisher's Weekly as "brave, beautiful, and brilliantly observed," Sex Death Enlightenment became an international best seller (published in 10 countries). Like Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat Pray Love and Paul Monette in Borrowed Time, Matousek takes the reader on an insightful, rollicking search for answers to life's deepest questions in this landmark memoir.
"Mark Matousek takes you everywhere his title promises - and then some. Sex Death Enlightenment is the most gripping and elegantly written memoir I've read in ages. It tugged me onward like the best suspense novel, though I couldn't help lingering time and again to savor its wisdom." -Armistead Maupin, author of Tales of the City
"An extraordinarily articulate chronicle of how the sickness of our time can spawn spiritual awakening and compassion." -Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now and Grist For the Mill
"Brave, beautiful and brilliantly observed." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
