Book Reviews of The Magus
Book Review: Maybe once; not now.
Summary: 2 Stars
I first read this when I was a teenager - loved it. Made me feel "deep", intellectual if not educated.
Went back to it recently and my shoulders still ache from cringing. Long passages in a foreign tongue, exchanges of conversation drenched in superiority (NOT to be confused with the "knight's move type conversation of academia), slegehammer "suggestions" of sexuality -Awful! I'll file mine with Enid Blyton.
If you googled "Pretentious", it should have a hyperlink to this book.
