A skeptical Catholic, Shrady is blessed with faith and doubt in equal measure, which imbues his stories of pilgrimages to Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, and Hindu holy places with authentic suspense. To extract from this book a succinct lesson is impossible; to try would be an injustice. Suffice it to say that Shrady is an ideal companion--simultaneously erudite, easygoing, intense, and blissfully ignorant. And best of all, he's a tenacious guardian of the solitude he finds on the pilgrimage trail, so as to be more fully present to his fellow pilgrims and readers:
I came to regard the conventional world from which I was at least temporarily removed as chaotic and aimless; the world of pilgrimage, by contrast, was, despite often precarious conditions, marked by a purity of focus. If I felt somehow blessed, it was because the pilgrimage brought me closest to Man's first condition.--Michael Joseph Gross
