413,446,369NoneNone
Life borders on fiction in this daring and true story of secretly videotaping Carlos Castaneda, one of the most reclusive writers of the sixties. With over 120 previously unpublished photographs and other archival material, this unauthorized first-hand account allows a rare glimpse into the controversial world of Castaneda. It adds the missing face to the man that managed to stay in the shadows for over forty years.  When the self-proclaimed sorcerer slips into Gaby Geuter's life, she suddenly believes herself to be at the gateway of knowledge. Tentatively she follows a trail of magical breadcrumbs that begins in private classes and public seminars, but eventually leads her to tracking the master to his home. In a twist of irony the teacher becomes the subject of his own teachings and Gaby the unintentional witness to the last years of Castaneda's life. In the sobering months of his inglorious end, the author discovers that all along, the answers to her lifelong search were inside of her. Call it a poignant memoir, a suspenseful novel, a poetic tribute to the mysterious man, or a spiritual detective story, ultimately it is the ballad of one woman's bold quest of finding the road home.… (more)
