Having enchanted readers on two continents with Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, Dai Sijie now produces a rapturous and uproarious collision of East and West, a novel about the dream of love and the love of dreams. Fresh from 11 years in Paris studying Freud, bookish Mr. Muo returns to China to spread the gospel of psychoanalysis. His secret purpose is to free his college sweetheart from prison. To do so he has to get on the good side of the bloodthirsty Judge Di, and to accomplish that he must provide the judge with a virgin maiden.

This may prove difficult in a China that has embraced western sexual mores along with capitalism–especially since Muo, while indisputably a romantic, is no ladies’ man. Tender, laugh-out-loud funny, and unexpectedly wise, Mr. Muo’s Travelling Couch introduces a hero as endearingly inept as Inspector Clouseau and as valiant as Don Quixote..

For optimum experience, read in conjunction with listening to the book's companion CD: "Travelling the Sacred Sound Current: Divine Chants & Sacred Tones for Healing and Meditation" (also available from amazon.com)

"An important work with her decipherment of harmonic knowledge from a wide spectrum of world cultures. The sacred use of voice and breath, overtones and harmonics...are all woven intelligibly and discussed by Deborah as the multi-colored rays of a basic understanding that emanate from a single source. Deborah's heart and soul-felt connection to the use of sound in healing is explored in great depth with chapters on her experiential application of Crystal Singing Bowls and Peruvian Whistling Vessels as instruments for healing. Whether embarking for the first time or a studied student of the esoteric, Travelling the Sacred Sound Current will touch and nourish the soul's longing for knowledge and connection to the whole. As such, Deborah's book is a deep transmission of beauty." Daniel K. Statnekov, Author, Animated Earth

"Entering into the living experience of Travelling the Sacred Sound Current is an invitation to commence on a sound vision quest involving all levels of our physical, mental and emotional bodies. It requires reading with heart and mind as Spirit opens doors to new dimensions. Each chapter is a step in travelling the sound current to the inner world of your own magic voice chamber where you can consciously reclaim your voice, your tone, and come into attunement with life's eternal OM. The gifts of Deborah's voice, book and CD allow you to touch into her passion as she shares sacred chants, mantras, crystal bowls, and ancient vessels for your awakening." Dorothy Williams, Reiki Master Teacher & Pranic Healer

"This book imbibes more than knowledge, by creating an experiential, transpersonal journey through the mystical visions of cosmic consciousness, and provides portals to connect with the Divine. When the chapters are read concurrent with meditating to the companion CD, the reader is able to experience the effects of sound on her mental status and physical well-being. Stress can melt away, and pain be diminished, as a shift in consciousness takes place. I highly recommend this book and its companion CD to health care professionals, their patients and, indeed, anyone who wishes to purse a healthy lifestyle." Dr. Stephen M. Sagar, Oncologist and Associate Professor of Medicine, McMaster University; Founding Director of the Complementary Medicine Section of the Ontario Medical Association .

Nan Donohoe was an Irish Travelling woman, one of Ireland's indigenous gypsies or "tinkers." Traditionally, they traveled the countryside making and repairing tinware, sweeping chimneys, selling small household wares, and doing odd-job work. Today, they live on the roadside in trailers and in government-built camps. Told largely in her own voice, Nan's saga begins in 1919 with her birth in a tent in the Irish Midlands; it follows her life in Ireland and England, in countryside and city slums, through adversity and adventure. Gmelch brings to her task not only the resources of anthropology, but the skill of a sensitive writer and a warmth that allows her to see Nan as a person, not a subject. What emerges is a human story, filled with cruelty and compassion, sorrow and humor, bad luck and good..
