È un romanzo composto da una serie di dodici racconti legati da un filo narrativo e interdentale. A causa di un ascesso terribile, un uomo si reca al Pronto Soccorso dentistico notturno.

What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find another person to love who would love her, and in that period there was a deep dark loneliness that she had to face and befriend, and then we are pleased to report that she did fall in love, and in that period she was like chimes, or a flock of clean breaths, and her spine lying flat was the many-colored planks on the xylophone, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love, because of past injury.

Collana: Perle di saggezza. L’incontro con un Maestro è un colpo di fulmine. All’improvviso si avverte una completezza che è, infondo, il senso ultimo anche del comune innamoramento; ovvero la ricerca dell’unità perduta, comegià ipotizzava Platone.Osho offre una narrazione più attuale, spiegando che “l’essere umano nasce consapevole, e in seguitosi addormenta.
