He retired early, in 2013, in order to spend more time writing, and in the hope of regaining a sense of freedom that academia had, slowly but surely, eaten into. This choice seems to have been fruitful since he recently published two new books -- Fetishizing Tradition: Desire and Reinvention in Buddhist and Christian Narratives (SUNY, 2015), and Patriarchs on Paper: A Critical History of Medieval Chan Literature (UCal Press, 2016) -- both of which lay out new and creative ways to think about old problems in Buddhism and Christianity.
