I would love to have a conversation with you and Brian about these matters. I need to read Brian's book first, which I really want to do, though there's not any time for that right now.

We're on tour support for the book for the next two months.
My particular interest in this matter is that of the African and Afro-latin syncretic religions which so many writers treat as if it's merely material that's dead and gone, when it is anything but.
Love, C.
Good luck on the book tour. The book sounds fabulous.
