Do you love the Big Lebowski? If no then avoid this book, if yes and you have ever wondered is the dude Taoist or Buddhist or is he an Epicurean? Why is Walter so obsessed with rules? Why it is important that nihilism is resisted? Is Walter justified in his aggression? This book is for you. Basically a collection of essays on the theme of BL. Some are repeats, some are contradictory but overall fun. Now to abide and watch the movie again
