Ebook About "The rainman gave me two curesAnd he said, 'Just jump right in.'The one was Texas MedicineAnd the other was railroad gin.And like a fool I mixed themAnd they strangled up my mindNow people just get uglierAnd I have no sense of time." ––Bob Dylan, "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" The guiding metaphor in Peter Coyote's new spiritual biography is drawn from a line in an early Bob Dylan song. For Coyote, the twin forces Dylan identifies as Texas Medicine and Railroad Gin – represent the competing forces of the transcendental, inclusive, and ecstatic world of love with the competitive, status–seeking world of wealth and power. The Rainman's Third Cure is the tale of a young man caught between these apparently antipodal options and the journey that leads him from the privileged halls of power to Greenwich Village jazz bars, to jail, to the White House, lessons from a man who literally held the power of life and death over others, to government service and international success on stage and screen.Expanding his frame beyond the wild ride through the 1960's counterculture that occupied so much of his lauded debut memoir, Sleeping Where I Fall, Coyote provides readers intimate portraits of mentors that shaped him—a violent, intimidating father, a be–bop Bass player who teaches him that life can be improvised, a Mafia consiglieri, who demonstrates to him that men can be bought and manipulated, an ex game–warden who initates him into the laws of nature, a gay dancer in Martha Graham's company who introduces him to Mexico and marijuanas, beat poet Gary Snyder, who introduces him to Zen practice, and finally famed fashion designer Nino Cerruti who made the high–stakes world of haute monde Europe available to him.What begins as a peripatetic flirtation with Zen deepens into a life–long avocation, ordination as a priest, and finally the road to Transmission–––acknowledgement from his teacher that he is ready to be an independent teacher. Through Zen, Coyote discovers a third option that offers an alternative to both the worlds of Love and Power's correlatives of status seeking and material wealth. Zen was his portal, but what he discovers on the inside is actually available to all humans. In this energetic, reflective and intelligent memoir, The Rainman's Third Cure is the way out of the box. The way that works.Book The Rainman's Third Cure: An Irregular Education Review :
Ok. I don’t usually like autobiographies, but I’m making an exception for this one. It’s probably because Peter Coyote’s personal charm and presence of mind pervade the writing. It might be because he went to my alma mater (Grinnell College) and was my first big interview as a writer. Maybe it’s because he has an obvious and particular fondness for the Gold Country in California where I grew up. Regardless, I invite you all to give it a shot; I can absolutely guarantee you’ll learn something.That’s not to say that you won’t need a bit of patience, however. Almost the entire first half of the book is a sort of barely-chronological rambling through Peter’s childhood, which, although marginally interesting, is probably more useful as an act of reflection for him than as a subject for his readers. I can only read so much of “my father was distant and aggressive so I grew up with some issues” before screaming, especially when I knew there was so much more interesting material for him to cover.Luckily for me, I decided to power through. The second half of the book swept me away into a tale so candid and charmingly self-reflective, I couldn’t help seeing a bit of myself in much of what he said. In truth, I think most humans from the United States would be hard-pressed to resist identifying with him in some way. As he once told me, he’s “the Zelig of the counterculture” (referencing Zelig, the Woody Allen film in which a man takes on the characteristics of those around him). I would expand that to say he’s the Zelig of post-50’s United States. Although he skims over much of his life in the counterculture, referring readers to his first book Sleeping Where I Fall (which I couldn’t stand, surprisingly), his storytelling ability and raw honesty make one feel as if one was there, beside him, all along. From starting an anarchist, free living commune in the 60’s to tenuous and unconventional romantic relationships, from Hollywood to Zen Buddhism, his life covers the spectrum of the idealized American free thinker in a variety of nuanced, unexpected ways. The reader shares in his frustration, his stagnation, and his transformations. By the end of the book, although I myself drifted away from Buddhism long ago, I began to realize that anything that can bring so much clarity to one’s perception of self and others may have some secular value after all.As I mentioned before, I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to interview Peter for an article in my alma mater’s alumni magazine. He speaks with the same charm and perceptiveness with which he writes, only his humor feels more organic. He’s friendly, warm, and has a perspective on life that a young, wandering post-graduate has no choice but to admire and soak up. All this is to say, there seems to be no disconnect between the Peter Coyote revealed in this book and the Peter Coyote that lives and breathes today—a consonance that I had been more than a little dubious of before meeting him. If this lends some credibility to his book for you, all the better. (If you want to take a look at the interview, you can find it here.)So, whether you’re into autobiographies or not, pick this one up. You’ll learn something about life, something about intentionality, something about how to reflect on your decisions, and something about how to be a damn good storyteller, all in the span of a few days (the book goes quite fast after you get past his childhood.) It’s not as enchanting as a work of fiction might be, and it won’t help you escape an challenges you’re living with, but believe me, it’ll make your reality seem a little more worth it.-Elise Hadden, Under the Heather Books (www.undertheheatherbooks.com) Peter Coyote has drifted into my awareness here and there over the year - as the narrator of Ken Burns’ TV series, “The Vietnam War”; several wonderful films, but most especially, an NCIS episode from 2009 entitled, “Silent Night” in which his portrayal of a totally off the grid Vietnam vet is heartbreaking and unforgettable. When I came across the fact that he had recently become a Buddhist priest, I decided to get this book and fill in the parts I didn’t know. Well, what an incredible life - from the consummate hippy of the 60’s with drugs, women and commune living on through his incredible success in films both European and American; his relationships, marriages, friendships and mentors along the 60-year span of this book - I just couldn’t put it down! Did I mention, his writing is first rate.
