For a man made of words, it is perversely perfect that none can capture the essence of Hakim Bey. Anarcho-Sufi wiseman, scholar of the unknowable, miraculous monologist, psychedelic shaman: all of this is true. Yet it only suggests - rather than defines - this writer and the long shadow that he casts. Th. Metzger was initiated into the Moorish Orthodox Church (resurrected in 1986 by Hakim Bey and ruled by him in perpetuity.) This is the story of their long-distance friendship and their year after year journeys together into the mythic landscape, both real and unreal.

Four English-language translations of The Enchiridion by Epictetus: Elizabeth Carter, George Long, Thomas Higginson and Percy Matheson. Illustrations by Michael Brumage. Introduction and essay on translation by Trevor Blake.
