I've seen the future of American literature and its name is Rob Brezsny. <br>- Tom Robbins, author of Another Roadside Attraction, Jitterbug Perfume, and Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates <br> Brilliant! Absorbing! Wildly useful! Rob Brezsny gets my nomination for best prophet in a starring role. He's a script doctor for the soul. <br>-Marisa Tomei, Academy Award-winning actress <br> I am deeply inspired by the illuminated words of Rob Brezsny. He is a word wizard for the soul. <br>-SARK, bestselling author of Succulent Wild Woman and many other books <br> What's amazing is how Brezsny's prose remains invigorating in the transition from weekly astrology to larger scope writing. The prose is still poetic, circular, almost dancing, combining the narrative voices of Anais Nin, Tom Robbins, David Ignatow, and a host of ancient mystics. <br>-Rain Taxi <br> Brezsny holds his own place next to other cultural shamans such as Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary, Reverend Ivan Stang, William S. Burroughs, and Ken Kesey. <br>-PopMatters <br> Like a mutant love-child of Jack Kerouac and Anais Nin, Rob Brezsny writes with devilish humor, spiritual audacity, and erotic intensity. The Televisionary Oracle is a kick-ass gnostic tale. Prepare to be astonished. <br>-Jay Kinney, author of Hidden Wisdom <br> A book so weird it might drive you stark raving sane. <br>-Robert Anton Wilson
