Lorr has this magical ability to fully, and I mean _fully_, immerse himself in his nonfiction subject all while maintaining precise notes and journalistic integrity - and this deep, searching examination of Bikram yoga is no exception.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
