A review by irongold
Jurgen by James Branch Cabell
4.0
I can just imagine Jurgens gravestone eulogy:
Here lies Pawnbroker/Duke/Prince/King/Emperor/Pope Jurgen, a monstrously clever fellow who would try any drink once, and wants you to remember that nobody noes what goes on in the dark.
Notable Quotables:
You may be right in all matters, and certainly, I cannot presume to say you are wrong, but still, at the same time…NO.
Hell was hilarious, with it being run by a (demo)cracy and all. Funny that all the younger demons wanted Satan to surrender and be bound by God so they wouldn’t have to work, cause apparently all the damned in hell were given such consciences that they wanted to be tortured for their sins, and once Satan was bound no one would die.
Wasn’t a fan of the description of heaven as an old woman’s illusion made up so she can talk to dead relatives, so lost a star. Also, some monstrously clever innuendoes sprinkled throughout.
