Description
At once appalling and appallingly funny, Moravagine bears comparison with Naked Lunch, except that it is more entertaining to read. Heir to an immense fortune, Moravagine is a monster, a man in pursuit of a theorem that will justify his every desire. Released from a hospital for the criminally insane by his star struck psychiatrist (the narrator of the book) who foresees a companionship in crime, Moravagine travels from Moscow to San Antonio to deepest Amazonia, engaged in schemes as, among other things, a bomb maker, businessman, gold prospector, and pilot. The two friends return to Europe just in time for World War I, when "the whole world was doing a Moravagine."
