Houseboat on the Ganges
Letters from India & Nepal, 1966-1972
Marilyn Stablein is a well-liked and respected author and artist in Oregon. Her work will appeal to people of her generation, but also to young people setting out in the world. It will especially appeal to young, independent, artistically inclined women.
Black and white photography taken by Stablein makes this a rich travelogue. We watch and hear the young artist as she searches for spiritual meaning in the East.
Readers interested in Gary Snyder, Ram Dass and other iconic figures of the late 1960s literary and spiritual scene will be drawn to this book.
