Comments:
An American scientist goes to Jerusalem to track down rumors of an ancient mushroom-cult surviving to the present day. Is his interest really scholarly, as he takes great pains to tell everyone, or is he really in search of personal transcendence, something to bring together his mess of a life? Like , a fairly religious story for an atheist to write.
