About this title

About the Author:

Luke Rhinehart is the international bestselling author of five novels: The Dice Man, Matari, Long Voyage Back, Adventures of Wim, and Search for the Dice Man. He is also the author of seven screenplays, several based on his own novels. He lived for many years in the UK but has returned to the US.

From Publishers Weekly:

The author of the 1960s cult classic The Dice Man has written a self-help companion volume to the underground novel. Luke Rhinehart's The Book of the Die: A Handbook of Dice Living features ancient proverbs, quotations from Asian philosophers, biblical parables and his own Eastern-influenced sketches and aphorisms, all championing a spontaneous, impulsive lifestyle ruled at least in part by chance rather than social rules and expectations. Among the motley, lighthearted offerings is the running story of a mythic character called Whim, who learns to lead a life of the die, as well as suggested dice games for readers that promote spiritual rather than financial growth.
