It's a Discordian book of parables and suchlike, which makes it part of either a complicated joke disguised as a new kind of Buddhism, or a new kind of Buddhism disguised as a complicated joke, or both at the same time and neither. Ain't quantum fun? Other than that, I can't really give you any specifics, 'cause I haven't settled down to read it yet. A related link is the Principa Discordia.

On the other hand, there's all sorts of fancy quotes on the back of Zen without Zen Masters, so who knows.
And , to be handy, an Amazon link. The book's out of print, sadly, I believe.
