About This Item
Bantam Books, 2001. Moderate corner, edge wear. Pages mostly very good, no writing. Front endpage tear at corner. In this humorously picaresque novel, a Zen Buddhist CIA agent meets an Amazonian shaman who takes him on a great drug trip, but insists on a high price for the experience: he places a curse on the agent that requires him to stay eternally in transit, never touching ground. He returns home in a wheelchair and, in a wild plot twist, finds himself in a convent in the Syrian desert where he falls in love with a nun. 415 pages.. First Edition. Soft cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
