Goner: The Final Travels of UG Krishnamurti

Goner will teach you the meaning of the phrase 'paradoxical truth'. UG Krishnamurti gave up everything for truth, but delighted in ridiculous fabrications; he was a teacher who refused to teach, a man who mocked do-gooders but was deeply kind; he was chaste but foul mouthed, he was a man who decried the supernatural ... yet there were strange coincidences around him. Louis Brawley tells an often unflattering story of his own struggles and shortcomings and the dynamic uncertainties of life at close quarters with a man who "tore apart everything human beings have built up inside and out for centuries." About the author: Louis Brawley was born in Ohio and lived and worked in New York, where he met UG Krishnamurti in 2002. Louis traveled in the USA, India and Europe with UG for the following five years, acting as an informal caregiver as UG's health deteriorated. Louis works as an artist, photographer and freelance art handler worldwide - occupations which fund his travels around the world writing and recording accounts and impressions from friends of the "Raging Sage"
