Hi Jeff,Sorry for having jumped in, without reading the whole thread first: loading AA pages has been terribly slow at times, these days...
And yes, you are on the spot, linking "The Magus" (by a strange chance, I have a copy over my desk, now...) to "The Tempest"..., and yes, it is excellent: seeing young Nicholas being turned inside out like a glove once and again by that Conchis is something..., and I find that the alternate title, "The Godgame" would have fit fine to these over 650 pages of pure wonder.
It´s interesting, how this work has never been put to film, especially when at least a couple of Fowles´s novels ("The Collector", "The French Lieutenant´s Woman") have been, and very successfully...Best,
Bernardo
