25 Feb / An End to Suffering: The Buddha in the World by Pankaj Mishra [in AsianWeek]
Novelist and essayist (and frequent New York Review of Books contributor) Mishra adds to what seems to be a growing hybrid genre of memoir infused with history, philosophy, and politics. What begins as a writing retreat to a tiny Himalayan village becomes a soul-searching personal journey to understand Buddhism – a search that ultimately proves both enlightening and elusive.
