About this title: In the course of Isherwood's spiritual discipleship to the Swami Prabhavananda in California in the 1940s he pursued a dramatic devotion to both spirituality and sensuality. Sexual sprees and all-night parties one moment, celibacy and fasting the next. His account emerges as a profoundly modern struggle with the nature and role of spirituality today.

"Not the type of book to which I am usually drawn, but I love his writing. A very personal account of the unfolding of one man's spiritual life. Very interesting to see how people in the 1930's reacted to concepts like yoga and meditation, things that are often taken for granted now."
