Living in The Material World is a novel of historical fiction, set
in both ancient India and in modern America. Part I is the story of
an Indian carpenter in the Buddha's time who becomes one of the
world's first secular teachers. His philosophy of life is shaped by
meeting various yogis and monks, including the Buddha, a Jain monk,
and a famous materialist. The complex religious cauldron of ancient
India surrounds the life of this member of a carpenters' village
outside one of the Buddha's favorite towns. Part II is the
fictional journal of a Baby Boomer, set in India and America. It
mirrors the life of the Indian carpenter in the first part of the
book, and it uncovers the fundamental issues that the
post-World-War-II generation has been grappling with over the last
fifty years.
