The Snow Leopard

by Peter Matthiessen

About this title: Author Matthiessen documents his travels in Nepal with naturalist George Schaller, including his attempts to come to grips with his wife's death from cancer, and his general pondering of questions of life and death. The snow leopard becomes a symbol to Matthiessen of the elusive silence of the peace of Zen.

"I was so excited about reading this while in Mongolia- not far from where snow leopards used to be seen. But, I was disappointed to find that the book, although celebrated during the 1960's, was a really self-centered account, I thought, about one man's travels and his struggles with his divorce and estranged child, his feeling of having missed too many important years through drug experimentation, and so on. He took off on tangents, which took on a strained quality, in trying to associate them with Buddhism. The few remarks on the snow leopard tracking were mildly interesting. The information on George Schaller, our author's traveling companion, was pretty cool, since some of the nature exhibits we saw in Mongolia were acknowledged to GS. Perhaps this book was so popular during the 1960's/ 1970's precisely due to the era during which it came out?"

"Per my book club, I brought a copy of this on a rainy back packing trip with only a week to finish. He bounces from spiritualism to nature travel throughout the book. I learned a lot - firstly that summer rain in the sierras is not rough mountain weather, and a lot about religious history. I also learned that goats and sheep have different preference when it comes to sucking their own genitalia and drinking their lovers urine (water sports!). Finally I learned that in the 70s it makes sense to spend months deliberating on the classification of a cloven foot animal based on its mating behaviors, but you can read a few books about the history of religion and breeze through a town and have a clear understanding of specific people in minutes. Oh, the seventies - they're so pre post pre!"

"I liked the style, and I appreciate the trek story and local detail of a region that I know next to nothing about. And clearly, the author is amazingly disciplined in his style--few authors are as tight and controlled and yet elegant in their writing as Matthiessen. But for some reason, I was just not in the mood for Zen Buddhist teachings when I read this. The book is more about reaching a state of mind than reaching a destination--and these little spiritual and philosophical lessons are interspersed throughout the trek story. I wanted more trek story, less philosophy."

"the snow leopard is my favorite animal, and i've liked other books i've read that are influenced by buddhism, so i had high hopes when i found this at the library. i was disappointed (and didn't finish it). it's basically a very long journal following one american guy's hike with a researcher into the mountains in nepal, describing the various people he encounters in pretty stereotypical ways (maybe because it's from the 1970s, but there was no need then, either), and not finding any snow leopards-- at least not in the first 100 or so pages. if you want western-interpreted buddhism, go for hesse or kerouac. if you want snow leopards, get a picture book, i guess!"
