Synopsis
The author's aim was not to write about the facts of religion but to pursue the possibilities of fiction as a path to spiritual understanding. Spiritual humour was his chosen venue, having been much influenced in childhood by fairy tales, and in adult life by the Sufi storytellers, by Gurdjieff, by stories about Ramakrishna and Rumi, by the writings of Antoine de Sainte-Exupery, particularly The Little Prince, and by that extravagant raconteuse of magic and mystery in Tibet,

About the Author
Pierre Delattre is a writer and painter living in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in northern New Mexico between Santa Fe and Taos. Tales of a Dalai Lama was his first book of fiction, followed by Walking On Air, and Episodes, a memoir. He has published stories, poems and essays in many magazines, and has just completed a book of essays entitled The Art of Beauty. Pierre Delattre's paintings have been on exhibit in several galleries in and around Santa Fe, and at his home studio in Penasco, where he lives with his wife, the painter Nancy Ortenstone. Mr. Delattre took his graduate degree in Religion and the Arts from the University of Chicago Divinity School, and has been involved in the relationship between art and spirituality ever since, including work in theatre, music, television and film, with emphasis on spiritual humor.
