Reviews
"Amy Wallace expertly maps the territory where mysticism merges into insanity, or perhaps the unmarked land between screwball comedy and terrifying tragedy. I can't recall a stranger, sadder narrative than this." -Carolyn See, author ofMaking a Literary Life "Truth hurts … and so doesSorcerer's Apprentice.Amy Wallace's harrowing account of her years as Carlos Castaneda's lover and disciple is a cautionary tale for our times, the story of a woman whose search for meaning took her to the brink, and damned near cost her everything. In this painfully honest memoir, she takes us deep inside the Castaneda cult and shows us the mind games, ego trips, and petty cruelties that wore the guise of wisdom. 'Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!' the Wizard once tried to tell Dorothy. Amy Wallace has ripped the curtain down, and laid the wizard bare for all to see." -George R.R. Martin, author ofA Game of Thrones "Sorcerer's Apprenticeis a haunting and brutally honest memoir that reads like a tender love story and, at the same time, a taut psychological thriller. Amy Wallace writes with wisdom, grace, courage, and candor about one of the most charismatic figures of all our times, and she allows us to witness both the splendor and the danger of entrusting one's fate to a powerful man or woman." -Jonathan Kirsch, author ofThe Harlot by the Side of the RoadandThe Woman Who Laughed at God "I simply could not put this book down. Amy Wallace's relationship with Carlos Castaneda was transformative, exciting, abusive, and painful. This is a cautionary tale, containing essential insights for all of us. Thank you, Amy, for having the courage to tell your story so that others may learn from it, and from the redemptive powers of your own healing." -Susan Piver, author ofThe Hard Questions, "Amy Wallace expertly maps the territory where mysticism merges into insanity, or perhaps the unmarked land between screwball comedy and terrifying tragedy.
