About This Item
Dunedin: Longacre Press. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. (2003). First Edition. Softcover. 1877135895 . 222 pages + colour plates. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 210mm x 140mm. "After decades of hard yakker, harder addictions, then six years of living in an American ashram, Kiwi adventurer W. J. O'Connell loses his right to stay on in the US. He's hitting middle age, has no home, no job, no wife, no bach at the beach, no life insurance. What should he do? Logical really. He'll take a hike." - from blurb on rear cover. "He tries what has become a fairly traditional method for dissatisfied, spiritually questioning Westerners - a physical journey to the East. He climbs a sacred mountain in Tibet; this after ten years of living and working in an ashram in New York. The story is part travelogue, part spiritual quest, part autobiography." .
