Publisher's Synopsis
Stark realities darkened the political climate across the world in 2017. Adriel, Tejas, and Zaid met in New York several times over the course of that pivotal year. As the dynamics of the city energized them, current and historical perspectives of people dominated their conversations. Their convictions, contradictions and retrospections gave them the strength to deal with the prevailing dark times. In their conversations and their travels, they found their personal contexts in the journey of humanity toward the freedom of the body and mind.
"Dialogs and Travels of Three New Yorkers" restores our strength to overcome the pessimism and moral bankruptcy that have epitomized our times.
