'Subway Hitchhikers' reappears in ebook edition

DOVER, N.H. - Jan. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Subway Hitchhikers, Jnana Hodson's first novel, was released Jan. 24, 2014, in an ebook edition at Smashwords.com, where it joins four others in his Hippie Trails series.
 First published in trade paperback in 1990, the story swirls into a sequence of fun-filled, surreal trips through the urban underground, where our central character is ultimately propelled to a culminating, purpose-filled destination.
   As Jack Barnes, book critic of the New Hampshire Sunday News and the Maine Sunday Telegram, wrote at the time: “From the myriad of novels that have appeared on the bookshelves ... across the country in recent years, none is more original – more daring – than Subway Hitchhikers.” He continued by hailing its “smoothly polished poetical prose that fits together like … semi-cubistic paintings” and called it “a work which merits being read more than once to be fully savored. Novelist Rob Swigart proclaimed it "a delight to read."
   Building on the campus conflicts of Hodson's novel Daffodil Sunrise and the subsequent encounters of Hippie Drum and Hippie Love, plus the spiritual aspirations of Ashram, Hodson's Subway Hitchhikers pulls the threads together in a tour de force of deep yearning and discovery.
   "Let them board, these forgotten dreamings, these mysteries that spring obliquely from unknown recesses of our minds. Without warning, they etch through memories and fears, desires and visions. Short of shutting down the entire system, there's no stopping them. Once he learns to see what few others envision, he will acknowledge unscheduled trains thronged with Subway Hitchhikers coming and going as they please, weaving time and space like a diamond pretzel."
  All of these volumes are now available in a choice of ebook platforms at Smashwords.com and other ebook retailers. (Please note adult content.)
