Life of Buddha

An anaesthetic effect is present in stories like 'Life of Buddha' (1988), in which a heroin addict provokes the transmutation of a male transsexual into a perfect woman. Shepard`s characters crave freedom and transformation; the narratives over-reach and become baroque in their pursuit of it, and so lose some of their power. They express the central paradox of Shepard`s work: his acceptance and celebration of claustrophobia and the 'feeling of stricture' (as in 'Griaule'), and his desperate raging against it.
