In a circular valley beneath the looming peaks of the Himalaya lies
Kathmandu, Nepal. It's a city of shimmering prayer flags, sacred
cows, lavish festivals, and violent political turbulence and a
world that journalist Jeff Greenwald has come to call home.Snake
Lake unfolds during 1990's dramatic  people power" uprising
against Nepal's long-entrenched monarchy. The story follows
Greenwald as he wins the friendship of a high lama who reveals the
pillars of Tibetan Buddhism; embarks on a passionate romance with a
spunky but curiously unlucky news photographer; and discovers what
democracy means to rural Nepali citizens all while covering the
revolution for a major American newspaper. Meanwhile, back in the
U.S., Greenwald's brilliant but troubled younger brother descends
into a deepening depression. The author is forced to choose between
witnessing Nepal's long-overdue revolution and reconnecting with an
alienated brother in desperate need of help.Snake Lake is primarily
a memoir (though the roles of several characters have been recast).
Focused on the life-changing events that unfolded during one
calamitous spring, the book weaves a vivid tapestry of Buddhism,
revolution, and the often serpentine paths to personal liberation.
