Very Carlos Castenada.
If you're in that sort of mood and you've not read him check out Jonathan Carrol. The Newford Short story collections as well as Trader and the Onion Girl by Charles de Lint are also worth a look. On a totally different note but in line with some of your recent posts, Shibumi by Trevanian. This last I think would appeal to you on a lot of different levels. But it wouldn't surprise me that you are familiar with all of them.
