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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Blue Rider Press","offers":[{"title":"Empty Chair: Two Novellas | Bruce Wagner | Hardcover | 9780399165887 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks E 1766145","offer_id":49376798277784,"sku":"1766145","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/911S9jfUy6L.jpg?v=1783019300","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/empty-chair-two-novellas","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
