Little Buddha

[Adam Phillips]

Some of us have been talking about Dom Luka a lot...but I have to say that another author I wish I could see a hell of a lot more from is the gone-but-not-forgotten (by me, anyway) Little Buddha.

 

I thought his Someday Out of the Blue was tremendous. Occasionally I got a little irritated at the protagonist's petulance and weepiness...but LB made it believable, and there were reasons intrinsic to the character for said petulance and weepiness.

 

Don't know how many of you have read Someday Out of the Blue, but if coming-of-age tales do it for you, this one is really good, in my opinion.

I agree with you, Adam...on missing our little Buddha buddy and on Someday Out of the Blue.

 

Maybe he's somewhere trying to stand an egg on end.

Could be; there's something that seems vaguely Zen about it.

I keep in touch with David - he's doing well, just really busy with work and boyfriend.  I'll send him a message though, see if the writing bug may be hitting him :-)

Im very surprised he didnt write a sequel because i certainly want him too i mean i effing love someday out of the blue. Its just so....so spectacular because of its themes and characters although i have to agree with Adam about the characters weepyness but 5 stars from me
