Excerpt from Shanti Bloody Shanti by Aaron Smith
29/02/08 14:10
A Jonathon Franzen version of The Big Chill. It's a
colorful, wild, witty and interesting psychedelic
Indian road story that updates much that 1970's
generations experienced while away from home, on the
road and going through the rites of passage that
formed them. It explores the spiritual trail taken by
many searching for a greater meaning of life in
India. This is a narrative from an urbanite ex-punk
rocker, ex-small time crook, ex-drug addict, 'X
gener', who quite enjoyed doing yoga once a week at
his local gym. There is murder, tragedy, terrorists,
romance, western scepticism, a dash of eastern
mysticism and even a revolution. It is based on the
author's autobiographical experiences in India 2006.
