Yeah, drawn a blank here. Good to see mad old Aleister Crowley pop-up. I'm guessing Moonchild would be a load of old toss?

Growth of the Soil by Hamsun is a fine novel. It attempts mythologizing, which is brave in an author, but ultimately it falls back into romanticizing, which is acceptable when done well. Hamsun did it well in GotS. He got progressively worse at it in later years.
