Review of The Magus

The Magus (1968)
7/10
A difficult book to translate to screen
27 August 2021
I read The Magus when I was about 15...I'm 69 now.

I read it over a few successive weekends anchored in a cabin cruiser off Big Island at Lake Minnetonka so the environment was perfect to absorb Fowles.

3 years later the movie was released...the settings, the actors, are spot on. At best to condense this novel into a script is a challenge similar to David Lynch's attempt at Dune. Great books...a challenge to translate the stories into a script but both capture the essence.
