Local Ojai Author Catherine Ann Jones will visit the Ojai Library at 2pm on Saturday, May 25, 2024, to give a talk on her book East & West: Stories of India.

East & West is a captivating book, in which contrasting and complementary aspects of Indian culture are explored through stories of seekers, stories of ordinary Indians, and stories of heroes, frauds, and victims.

“In the best tradition of storytelling in India, this new book by Catherine Ann Jones is a modern classic. Seemingly covering the entirety of Indian culture, values, current events, and philosophy, the fifteen stories in her collection will long be treasured for capturing the ethos of the twenty-first century. In spite of the 114th sloka of the Dharma Shastra that intones ‘The essence of dharma is hidden and elusive,’ it is true that the Catherine Ann Jones dharma is storytelling.” – R. E. Mark Lee, World Teacher: The Life of J. Krishnamurti
