by Eduardo Duran

The book is continuation of ‘buddha in redface' which has been in print for 20 years.

This is a sequel to Duran’s much more exciting Buddha in Redface. Duran writes delightful characters, and he often makes the challenging concepts accessible through a bouncy narrative.

If you haven’t participated in any indigenous medicine ceremonies, it may be difficult to engage with this story. If you have, Duran’s writing instantly evokes memories and feelings from those spiritual events.

For me, this book went off the rails in a couple of the latter chapters where there was an ongoing translation of ancient texts during a ceremony in a cave. I found it agonizingly repetitive. I get the sense that Duran wanted it to feel like a real-time unfolding, but I was longing for some edits. The way it went on, I kept thinking “this meeting coulda been an email.”

After chapters 10 and 11, the narrative and the accessibility got back on track, and the epilogue was a delicious and satisfying payoff.
