Abstract
Everybody has their own idea of what paradise consists of. Freedom from the confines of the labor force, a tropical vacation with endless beaches and relaxing afternoon naps, a spending spree with no bill in sight, and streaming chocolate with an edible rowboat have all been described to me as "paradise" by different people. My own vision of it just so happens to consist of one week without a single obligation; location and other details are of no concern to me. Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies & the Truth about Reality challenges this concept of paradise with Buddhist insight, instead suggesting that utopia is never satisfying, as it can never be realized. The Beat writers, notable for their Buddhist and spiritual themes, have much to say about ideal existence and their own versions of paradise.
