About this listen

Often described as an alchemical allegory, John Crowley instead decided this is "the first science fiction novel". After all, "it's fiction; it's about the possibilities of a science; and it's a novel". No matter what else it might be, it's definitely one of the great outlandish stories in Western literature.

Just a shame the narrator is a twelve-year-old American boy.
Still it's here and free.

essentially an esoterical journey of collected minds... interesting with lots to ponder. Well worth a listen

performance and recording equipment could've been better but it's a free book so I'm not complaining.

Story starts at chapter 5. Before that are spoilers by the translator which is disappointing.
