"Thubron walks for the dead and writes for the living, and I can't remember when I have been so thoroughly and deeply moved by an author's outward journey inward." โBob Shacochis, Boston Globe
New York Times bestselling author Colin Thubron returns with a moving, intimate, and exquisitely crafted travel memoir recounting his pilgrimage to the Hindu and Buddhist holy mountain of Kailasโwhose peak represents the most sacred place on Earth to roughly a quarter the global population. With echoes of Peter Matthiessenโs The Snow Leopard, Peter Hesslerโs Country Driving, and Paul Theorouxโs Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Thubronโs follow up to his bestselling Shadow of the Silk Road will illuminate, interest, and inspire anyone interested in traveling the world or journeying into the soul.
