Norgay Amazon Remainders Account, 2002 A Sherpa Man Finds his Spiritual and Family Roots This book was absorbing emotionally and stimulating intellectually. It is the only book about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster written by a Sherpa, the indigenous people who work as porters and guides for commercial expeditions. I have read about five of the books written after the disaster, and wondered about the Sherpa point of view as there was surprisingly little mention of them.

It is a marvel how a poor isolated mountain tribe was made a household word-how the Sherpas became THE Sherpas.

They have certainly worked hard for it.
