  • "The two-thousand-year-old Sanskrit epic Ramayana chronicles Lord Rama's journey from one end of the Indian subcontinent to the other and his spiritual voyage from man to deity. In Arrow of the Blue-Skinned God, anthropologist and journalist Jonah Blank retells the ancient story in a lively prose while following the course of the epic hero's quest through contemporary India and Sri Lanka. In his adventures Blank encounters a chimerical subcontinent caught between the ancient and the modern, from swamis who wrestle both physically and metaphysically, to prepubescent Tamil guerrillas barely able to lift their AK-47s, to television actors who are worshiped as living manifestations of Hindu divinities.--From publisher's description."
  • "A 3,000-year-old epic, the Ramayana, chronicles Rama's physical journey from one end of the subcontinent to the other, and his spiritual voyage from Man to God. Jonah Black recounts this timeless story as he retraces Rama's journey through the India of today."
