Description: "Posing a clever analogy to the well-known line of Hamlet, to be or not to be, the author exposes the superficiality of Western culture and points to the deeper dimension of Eastern meditation. To be is to strive, to achieve, and to not be is to give it all up in favour of personal liberation. When Shakespeare Lost the Plot is the tale of a witty play about the birth of the tragedy--no, a comedy, a behind-the-scenes account of presenting the play that will ask the audience the ultimate question ... to be or not to be?"--Page 4 of cover.
