Teach Us to Sit Still by Tim Parks ""Riveting . . . Parks' discoveries will fascinate not only writers but all citizens of an information age steeped in and propelled by language."" -The New Yorker "" Tim Parks'

prose is mordantly funny, self-conscious but never self-pitying, worldly but introspective, attuned to the needs of a soul that he considers thoroughly material and mortal. The result is an absorbing, at times inspiring, narrative of spiritual growth."" -Publishers Weekly, starred review

Reviews for Teach Us to Sit Still: A Skeptic's Search for Health and Healing

A small triumph of narrative artistry, luxuriantly written and full of bone-dry humor. -The Spectator A searingly honest, viscerally vivid, darkly comic self-examination of the connections between writing, personality and health. -David Lodge A mystery story written with extraordinary nerve and eloquence...The result is harrowing, mordant, and unforgettable. -David Shields
