Jeffery Paine
Jeffery Paine is an award-winning writer recognized especially for his work in bringing Eastern culture and spirituality to popular audiences in the West.〔(GemsTone Audio/Visual Home Page )〕 "Jeffery Paine is an unusual voice in American letters," observed Indian novelist and Underscretary General of the United Nations Shashi Tharoor, "one steeped in the wisdom of the East and yet infused with a knowing and witty sensibility that is profoundly Western."〔 ISBN 0-393-01968-3. ASIN B000FA4UY2. Jacket quote.〕 Paine's books, such as ''Father India'' and ''Re-enchantment'', have been named by publications ranging from ''Publishers Weekly''〔(WEB EXCLUSIVE: The Best Books of 2004 )〕 to ''Spirituality & Health''〔http://www.spiritualityhealth.com/spirit/books/newbooks Best Books, 2004〕 as "Best Book of the Year." His writing falls in the category of creative or literary nonfiction, which unites original scholarship with the dramatic narrative and character development associated with a novel.
