Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Kipling's masterpiece Kim is his final and most famous work and one of the first and greatest espionage stories ever written. It explores the life of Kimball O'Hara, an Irish orphan who spends his childhood as a vagrant in Lahore. When he befriends an aged Tibetan lama his life is transformed as he is requested to accompany him on a mysterious quest to find the legendary River of the Arrow and achieve Enlightenment.

Dastor and Kipling are both geniuses
Revisado: 12-12-14
What did you love best about Kim?
Kipling's word choice, the descriptions of scenes, the amazing performance of Sam Dastor (seriously, he play characters of umpteen different casts, dialects, genders, ages, national origins!), the winding, intricate tale, Kipling's deep knowledge of India and Buddhism.
What did you like best about this story?
See above
What does Sam Dastor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
See above. He is incredibly talented. I cannot fathom how he can switch in and out of the narrator's voice and the voices of the numerous characters he plays. He brought the book to life without a fault.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The descriptions of the mountainous regions in/near Tibet.
Any additional comments?
This is a complex story, but it all beautifully comes together. Kipling is a master of the written word and Dastor a master of acting. Buddhists (particularly of Tibetan lineages) will deeply appreciate this book.

Upon its first publication, this path breaking book launched an explosion of interest in how Eastern spirituality can enhance Western psychology. Since then, the worlds of Buddhism and psychotherapy have been forged into a revolutionary new understanding of what constitutes a healthy emotional life. In his insightful introduction, Mark Epstein reflects on this revolution and considers how it is likely to evolve in the future.
