"...months on the road in Amdo in Tibet
with only traders, pilgrims, monks for company..."
"...taught in a refugee camp in Kashmir..."
"...sailed on the 'Rainbow Warrior'
I bet
some publishers would likely have to get
a copywriter to produce this stuff!
"...in his younger years
played glockenspiel and timpani
in several orchestras - then disappeared',
...slept rough,
'harvesting images and sympathy'..."
is this enough?
