"This extraordinary memoir. The funniest and most haunting piece of writing about its remarkable subject that has yet been attempted." - John Raymond, London Sunday Times
The follow-up to Peters' beloved memoir, Boyhood with Gurdjieff. Peters emerges from military service at the end of World War II - shellshocked, lonely, and displaced - to reconnect with his father figure and spiritual mentor in Paris. Their interaction in the last months of Gurdjieff's life and the earnest start of Peters' maturity proves to be no less impactful than their earlier time together at the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, particularly when Gurdjieff bestows the mantle of true successor on Fritz before an audience of his followers. Replete with a supernatural healing event, internal politics, and quirks of Gurdjieff's character, Peters returns his clear and intuitive narrative powers to his unforgettable subject, delivering a striking memoir.
Includes an introduction by biographer, art historian, and translator, Roger Lipsey. He is the author of Gurdjieff Reconsidered: The Life, the Teachings, the Legacy (Shambhala Publications, 2019) and received his PhD from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.
