Nathan DeMontigny published a wonderful review of The Magician of Lhasa on his blog Precious Metal today.  Here’s a snippet, but you should read the whole review and visit his site.  Thanks, Nate!

I think this tidbit, from the publishers website, can give you a bit of insight to what this book has in store… “Trapdoor Books believes that by giving a new voice to authors without imposing overtly commercial constraints on their work, the stranglehold of formulaic writing can be broken and the world of fiction, along with the real world, can provide a better and more rewarding experience for all of us.” Wow!
