Durrell?s autobiographical rumination on their friendship and on Taoism recounts the author?s existential ponderings, starting with his introduction to the mystical and enigmatic ?smile in the mind?s eye.? From parsimony, cooking, and yoga to poetry, Petrarch, and Nietzche, A Smile in the Mind?s Eye is a charming tale of a writer?s spiritual and philosophical awakening.
