Cinema of Obsession by James Ursini
This memoir by Catherine Naylor is a humorous, beautiful, poignant, remarkably sane and courageous story of a very difficult, and yet wondrous year she spent trying to find a home in an impossibly convoluted place - Taos (rhymes with chaos ), New Mexico. I read it in one sitting, swept along by much laughter and also a few tears. Almost every chapter on 'the art of survival' astonished me. Her life journey during her first year in Taos reads like a kind of gentle Candide, with more pitfalls than you can possibly imagine. And yet they are all recounted with much insight, compassion, and lively humor that totally captured my heart as Catherine fell in love with her new home. - John Nichols, author and activist
