"The Insomniac Library is proud to reissue Gwendolyn MacEwen's first novel, more than forty years after its original appearance in 1963.
MacEwen described what she set out to achieve as a ""sort of powerful poetic mad half-abandoned prose somewhere between [Kenneth] Patchen and Virginia Woolf."" Set in a medieval past that has distinctly modern overtones, the novel is about Julian, a young man who believes he is Christ."
