Breakfast with Buddha by Roland Merullo

Skeptical New York City food editor Otto Ringling drives to North Dakota with one Volya Rinpoche, maroon-swathed monk, copilot by default. It’s fiction. It’s a great, funny road trip and philosophical debate. An excellent snapshot of what a large part of America looks like today and how we all might be considering personal politics, national identity, and issues of spirituality.
