Being well-used to attention from fans of his seventeen years' work on the Superman and Batman comics, Alvin Schwartz was nevertheless taken aback when one of the individuals to contact him was no ordinary fan, but a seven-foot Buddhist monk named Thongden. Alvin was even more baffled when Thongden introduced himself as a tulpa, who was thought into being by a Tibetan mystic. Thus Alvin takes to ‘the path without form', an amazing journey in the rather bizarre company of Hawaiian kahunas, quantum physicists, and superheroes. Superman, as it turns out, is also a tulpa, a being created by thought so powerful that it takes on a life of its own and, explains Alvin, is an archetype expressing the sense of nonlocality that is always present in the back of our minds - that capacity to be everywhere instantly. ‘Superman' embodies our reality when we're at our highest point, when we're truly impermeable, indestructible, totally concentrated, and living entirely in the now, but it must be balanced by our own ‘Clark Kent'. An Unlikely Prophet is a profound and entertaining investigation into the shifting nature of identity and reality, an extraordinary blend of autobiography, surreal fiction and spiritual wisdom. We think that this wonderful book creates a totally new genre, and we're sure you'll be amazed. 220pp, 152mm x 228mm, softback, 2006
