Publisher's Synopsis
Finally, the second, revised edition of the irreverent "Tea Fried Brain." In this autobiographical novel, tea enthusiast, Frank Hadley Murphy, author of "The Spirit of Tea" meets up with his eccentric "co-padre," Michael O'Donnell, for an intimate journey into the human heart augmented by the mind altering, plant spirit medicines of Yunnan Province. The supernatural desert landscape near Abiquiu, New Mexico, shape shifts through this delightful, conversational narrative as both gentlemen, are, as in a crucible, rendered down into the central cores of their beings by the gentle graces of China tea. "Tea Fried Brain," set overlooking the Chama River, is a sobering and light hearted social commentary on our seductive relationship with this "Queen of the Camellias," THEA SINENSIS!
