What the critics have said:
**A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK**

"Like the dark comedy of Evelyn Waugh... its irony cuts all ways... Few books since E.M. Forster's Passage to India (whose formal perfection this novel shares) have conveyed more intensely the allure (and the revulsion) the East holds for Westerners."
-- Michael Malone, The New York Times Book Review

"Psychedelic drugs are hawked on the street and Jewish and Christian outposts vie with thirty-odd Eastern sects... in this comedy of culture clash."
-- The New Yorker

"A daring wit."
-- Robert Taylor, Boston Globe

"Culture clash and erotic awakening."
-- Michael Upchurch, The Washington Post
