Review of The Holy Mountain (1973) by John N — 07 Mar 2011
I have been to the The Holy Mountain several times! A Christlike figure wanders through bizarre, grotesque scenarios filled with religious and sacrilegious imagery. He meets a mystical guide who introduces him to seven wealthy and powerful individuals, each representing a planet in the solar system. These seven, along with the protagonist, the guide and the guide's assistant, divest themselves of their worldly goods and form a group of nine who will seek out the Holy Mountain, in order to displace the gods who live there and become immortal.
The Alchemist: You are excrement. You can change yourself into gold.
