'A rare journal of one man's struggle towards true freedom, this compelling story carries the stamp of undeniable authenticity.' -- Watkins Review, Spring 2003 A human being is forgetfulness. Reshad is faithful to remembering, brilliant in remembering. -- Robert Bly, poet and author of Iron John and The Sibling Society The lightness and clarity of the narrative have preserved intact and alive the early days of a story of spiritual discovery that has not yet reached its end, neither in the author nor, for that matter, in our culture. -- Rafi Zabor, author of the PEN-Faulkner award-winning The Bear Comes Home Order and perfection seem to be the keynotes of Mr Feild's message. His eloquent and colorful orchestration show his creative powers to be of a very high level. -- The Times Literary Supplement
