The koan is one of the most recognizable East-Asian spiritual exercises—a thought experiment in the form of a riddle or puzzle that Zen Buddhists employ to become enlightened. In American Koan, Ben Van Overmeire examines the literary function of these ancient dialogues in autobiographies of modern Western writers.
