"A virtuoso celebration ...
hypnotically rich."*
"An unusually compelling book, the record , at once
comic and frightening, of a consciousness of the
sixties, as it tries to confront the ancient turbulence
and terror of a great religious festival in India . ..
Mitchner's writing makes a claim on us which we
willingly give only to very distinguished literary
performances." - Richard Poirier
" In the literature of the road, this unusual memoir
deserves to rank high ." -
