Professor Ben Thompson was both Amy and Arny’s teacher. He brought them together. In the following audio recording you will hear Ben Thompson’s reading of Arny’s 1972 manuscript, The Deathwalk, which years later was updated and published as The Shaman’s Body. The remarkable aspect of this recording is that Ben asked that this recording of the final chapter of The Deathwalk be played in his own voice at his funeral in the late 1980s. Thanks to Ben, his wife Lee, and his students who sent this tape to us.

The Shaman’s Body finally appeared in 1993. Click here for the audio. (30 minutes long)
