The writing of the illusory being behind BoBuReview, Paki S. Wright, has manifested in literary reviews and personal essays in newspapers/magazines (The New York Times Book Review, The Point Reyes Light, California Living, etc.); a book of humorous essays, "Patchy Coastal Fog:  From Manhattan to (West) Marin in 24 Not-so-Easy Stages;" a radio show on KWMR-FM about Tibetan-Buddhism, "Om Mani Padme Huh?," and a clutch of Buddhist-themed screenplays and plays, including the winner of a Marin County Artist's Grant, "Liz's Strata."  

Wright's novel, "The All Souls' Waiting Room," (2002) is a black comedy about a girl who grew up as a psychiatric guinea pig in Greenwich Village during the McCarthy era -- and an after-death feud between Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Wilhelm Reich about how to cure her of suicidal fantasies. (Copies of "The All Souls' Waiting Room" are available at amazon.com in paperback or Kindle formats.)

Wright became a Buddhist 20 years ago.  After meeting Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche in Nepal and receiving pointing-out instructions from him, she became a student of his son, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, who is also an acclaimed Dzogchen meditation teacher, and currently lives in the high mountains of Crestone, Colorado.
