The Nirvana Experiments and Other Tales of Asia

By William Page

The Nirvana Experiments and Other Tales of Asia is a collection of ten new stories set in Thailand, India, China, Nepal, Taiwan and Afghanistan. Some highlights:

• An Indian scientist tries to induce enlightenment by manipulating the chemistry of the brain…
• An American Peace Corps volunteer declares war on the Nepalese caste system…
• A traveler carries an ancient curse into the modern world…
• A California girl searches for a guru in the Himalayas…
• A Chinese mother contends with a Bodhisattva for the soul of her eight-year-old son.

Although the protagonists come from different backgrounds, most of them are engaged in a common venture: the quest for spiritual certitude.
