In the anecdotal Post-Dated: The Schooling of an Irreverent Bonsai Monk, a 36 year-old American travels to Japan to begin a new life as an apprentice in the traditional art of bonsai. A smorgasbord of unwilling adventures culled from the author’s 2 1/2 year journal reveal his erratic education in the antics of trying to communicate in Japanese, the chronic emotional minefield of apprentice life, and short, demonstrative chapters on Zen, lunacy, and the lessons of bonsai.
