Nova

An iconic book of the 60's but just as the narcissistic drug and mysticism culture has palled so has this novel. It is very much a child of it's time with it's grail and Tarot obsessions and long digressions on physics, economics, politics and culture which sound like the drug addled ravings one used to have in parties at that time and which are equally as dementedly wrong as they were then.

The writing talent is there but the book is still slow and pretentious.
