Jonathan Livingston Seagull - more copies later, it is still in print. The impact made by this slender book has been remarkable, though not the occasion for much academic attention.

Samizdat copies of the entire text can also be found on the net, ready for downloading. It has inspired the production of a motion picture (about which the consensus is that the best part of it was Neil Diamond's soundtrack) a ballet and a thousand posters of flying gulls on a million adolescent bedroom walls. Clearly, Jonathan Livingston Seagull has joined Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Gibran's The Prophet, and, for a previous generation, Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye as.
