“David Abramczyk’s debut novel leads the reader into rugged landscapes. Long-time addict and misogynist, Gerard, is the impetus for an adventure that takes protagonist Jupiter into the Himalayas via a short stint in prison and interactions with a host of unusual characters. Throughout the novel we are reminded of the frailty of human existence and the redeeming power of love. A common thread that unites the central characters is that they, like Jupiter himself, are usually in the process of escaping their past (to freedom?). Abramczyk has packed a lot into Samsara and the narrative, characters and humor to keep your attention.”
