Publisher Description: Composed of two companion novellas, "The Empty Chair" is a profound, heart-wrenching piece of spiritual storytelling from Bruce Wagner, the internationally acclaimed author of such novels as "Dead Stars, I'm Losing You "and" Force Majeure." In "First Guru," a fictional Wagner narrates the tale of a Buddhist living in Big Sur, who achieves enlightenment in the horrific aftermath of his child's suicide. In "Second Guru," Queenie, an aging wild child, returns to India to complete the spiritual journey of her youth. Told in ravaged, sensuous detail to the author-narrator by two strangers on opposite sides of the country, years apart from each other, both stories illuminate the random, chaotic nature of human suffering and the miraculous strength of the human spirit. A deeply affecting and meditative reading experience, "The Empty Chair" is an exquisitely rendered, thought-provoking, and humbling new work.
