Now, in A SEPARATE REALITY, Carlos Castaneda tells how he returned to don Juan and resumed the dangerous initiation necessary to become "a man of knowledge."

Industry Reviews
"A SEPARATE REALITY is extraordinary in every sense of the word, and much more than a sequel. While it has the same intelligent modesty, graceful modulation, and narrative skill as his first book, Castaneda here abandons his frustrating reticence. As he comes closer to don Juan in his struggle through his mystical obstacle course, their relationship takes on another dimension. This book ceases to be simply phenomenological reportage. The anthropologist's rescue of an alien language from oblivion becomes a moving personal quest, an autobiography."
Gordon
"In A SEPARATE REALITY his [Castaneda's] adventure dramatically broadens to disclose in the trampled culture of the American Indian a secret spiritual tradition that produces men of profound character and eerie psychological powers."
