This book completely took me by surprise. I was expecting it to be some sappy, sentimental story that would just make me throw it down in disgust. Instead, it became one of my absolutely favorite books. The characters are the quirckiest bunch you'll ever meet, especially the monk who was separated from The Dalai Lama and discovers french fries and strip clubs. I happen to know Mr. Eberle is in the process of writing another novel, and I can't wait.

Here is a new voice in Fiction that I hope to hear a lot more from. This book was one of the best books of the year. Well crafted, fully developed characters and just the right mix of magic and realism. Do it again Mr. Eberle.

In Ebrele's "Geography of Nowhere" the reader can be guaranteed one thing--an advancement in further dialogue on postmodern thought. He may have been a bit ahead of his time when writing this one. The caliber of writing takes on concepts of postmodern thinking by intertwining historical footnotes with futurism in mind. Eberle epxplains roles of mythology, narrative and ritual in man's daily existence in a very new millennium kind of way. "Geography of Nowhere" is by no means a C.S. Lewis conversion story. What it is however, is one man's well-thought out perspective on these dynamic times.
