fatguyslim Posted October 15, 2011 I have been, for the past couple of years, reading Cleary's translation on many Taoist books and I have many questions that I would like to ask him. But as I expected... it's practically impossible to find any contact information on the guy. I think speaking to him would definitely clear many doubts in my mind. So if anyone can please find some information on him then please can you post it on this post? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted October 15, 2011 Wikipedia has a nice article on him.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cleary  Last published in 2010 so he is still active.  He has a Facebook page that indicates he is living in Oakland, CA.  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Thomas-Cleary/132926636745089 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harmonious Emptiness Posted October 15, 2011 If you hound his interviewers maybe they'll put you in contact. Â I thought he was a professor somewhere too.. Overall I got the impression that he tries to maintain privacy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But no contact detail is available online  I did another quick search but no cigars.  How about if you check with his publisher? Maybe they could offer an E-mail address if you plead a good case?

Â Try his publisher and/or literary agent .. they may be willing to pass messages on. If you demonstrate genuine interest in his work and have pertinent questions he would have to have armor plating not to want to respond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaktiMama Posted October 16, 2011 Try his publisher and/or literary agent .. they may be willing to pass messages on. If you demonstrate genuine interest in his work and have pertinent questions he would have to have armor plating not to want to respond. Â He may not be secretive at all. Answering questions thoughtfully takes enormous amounts of time and energy. Make sure there is a beneficial energy exchange not just something that satisfies the inquirer's curiosity.
