On an ill-fated art expedition into the southern Shan state
of Burma, eleven Americans leave their Floating Island
Resort for a Christmas-morning tour-and disappear. Through
twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they
find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a
tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical
book of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and
destruction of the Myanmar military regime. Saving Fish from Drowning seduces the reader with a fagade
of Buddhist illusions, magician's tricks, and light comedy,
even as the absurd and picaresque spiral into a gripping
morality tale about the consequences of intentions-both good
and bad-and about the shared responsibility that individuals
must accept for the actions of others.
