Carrère had hoped to write “a subtle little book on yoga,” he notes in this semi-autobiographical new novel. But the story is about far more: the dissolution of his romantic relationship; depression and other private sorrows; and, ultimately, how meditation and writing inform one another.
The complete review in The New York Times is here.
In Carrère's latest, a best seller (and cause of scandal) in France, the author’s life gets very bad and then slightly better.
