“A fabulous book-and written with great verve and nerve- about the Beats and their passage to India.”
– Michael Ondaatje
“[A] dense, exotic, intriguing saga-not just Ginsberg’s but India’s too.”
–National Geographic Adventure
“A piece of devoted scholarship and legwork dunked in the screwy, hyper-intelligent, tragicomic essence of everything that drove Ginsberg to take a trip that not only changed his life but helped spawn generations of hipsters, hippies, writers, artists, rock stars, mental cases, and self-anointed medicine men.”
–The New York Times
