Ruta Sevo's Blog: Roots of My Writing - Posts Tagged "séance"
White Bird is finished!
Paperback, Kindle and ePUB versions available.
The ePUB is only on lulu.com now but it will appear on iBookstore and other places soon.)
I spent years in Calcutta and Madras (now Chennai) as a scholar, doing field work for a Ph.D. However, in the 1970s, a degree in Indian studies did not lead to a job. WHITE BIRD came of wishing I’d had time to go to Nepal and into the Peace Corps.
Reading about thirty books satisfied my long-latent interest in Nepal and Tibetan Buddhism. A fierce trek up the Annapurna Valley topped it off.
The novel is in the tradition of writers bringing the East to the West, like E.M. Forster and the Victorians Alexandra David-Neel and Madam Blavatsky. White Bird draws on Tibetan Buddhism which spread out of Tibet by Chinese force after 1959. Half a century later, Buddhism is well known in America.
If you like reading about a character's discovery of Buddhism, shamans, séances, and sex, it's for you.
