The Art of the Straight Line is a book of essential wisdom covering Tai Chi, mindfulness, creativity and the art of living and dying. Lou had undertaken the writing of this book in the latter years of his life. It has been edited by his wife Laurie Anderson and his friends Stephan Berwick, Bob Currie, and Scott Richman.
Lou was an accomplished martial artist whose practice began in the 1980s. He studied with Chen Tai Chi pioneer Master Ren GuangYi. This book is a comprehensive collection of Reed’s writings on Tai Chi. It includes conversations with Reed’s fellow musicians, artists, friends, and Tai Chi practitioners, including Julian Schnabel, A. M. Homes, Hal Willner, Mingyur Rinpoche, Eddie Stern, Tony Visconti, Iggy Pop, Lars Ulrich, Darren Aronofsky, and masters from the Chen family - the creators of Tai Chi.
The Art of the Straight Line goes on sale March 14 and is available now for preorder wherever books are sold. 

The book will be published by Faber in the UK & Ireland on March 16th.

I was interviewed for this. I hope I made the cut. I remember not being very happy with the interview. It was a phoned with all the authors on the line and I felt we got way off track. We’ll see. This has been in the works for years…

Stephan Berwick is an old friend and I know Scott Richman. Master Ren is also an old friend - we even shared a room once and got hellaciously drunk together. And of course, I know Laurie.

I just got a digital advanced galley. I made the cut. I'm on page 255-257 in between Tracee Hutchinson and Jon Miller.
