Mike Nelson asked this question about The Magus:
Here is my request: Assuming that I love "The Magus" (which I do), please recommend one novel which I might enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed "The Magus". (Background ... I loved "The Magus" because it is exceptionally well written, and also because the "psycho-social" context resonates so strongly with the culture of those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s. I have, BTW, read "The French Lieutenant's Woman".) ??
Lesley Moseley 'A little Life' and 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay'.. are unlike the Magus , in setting or premise, but I enjoyed both 5 stars worth.. M…more'A little Life' and 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay'.. are unlike the Magus , in setting or premise, but I enjoyed both 5 stars worth.. Maybe the older 'Zen and the art of Motor Cycle Maintenance ' is closer and also a 5 star for me.(less)
