About the book: 2006 / Officially recognized as the “national treasure of the American counterculture,” Tom Robbins caused a huge scandal with this novel in 2000, because he encroached on the sacred - the classic cliches of this very counterculture !A secret service agent who was and remains an anarchist at heart... Shamans of pagan tribes, imposing strange taboos on unfortunate white intellectuals... Traveling on an Indian pirogue, expanding consciousness and opening the way to another reality... What Tom Robbins does with these nonconformist canons, impossible to describe! (Such a grandiose mockery of “Castaneda’s” cliches has never happened before…)
