Reviews

The Yogin and the Madman is the most important scholarly monograph yet published about the literary tradition surrounding the greatest single work in Tibetan literature, and will do more than any study before it to begin to give us historical access to the life (and lives) of Tibet's most revered and influential yogin and poet, Milarepa. -- Roger R. Jackson, Carleton College
