![]() ![]() At a week-long retreat, the young monk had been assigned a koan (a spiritual riddle) that he ``solved'' by murdering his teacher. The case he is assigned to is the murder of a Buddhist Zen master by a troubled acolyte. Sixteen years later, two events lift him out of his rut: he accepts a nine-year-old Korean prodigy as his student, and is selected for jury duty. Driven from the stage by his handicap, Renne fell to teaching cello at UCLA. But something went horribly wrong with Renne's hearing, distorting every note he played. As a cello prodigy he toured Europe and was lavished with ardent praise. Renne Sundheimer is a 34-year-old failure. Salzman's ( Iron and Silk ) new novel is a quirky and enjoyable tale of finding Nirvana in the legal system. ![]()
