A Rosenbergian Labyrinth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Not every Sherlock Holmes fan will have the patience to follow Rosenberg down his amazing labyrinth, but the trip, I think, is worth the effort. It is sort of like meeting James Joyce on the dark side of the moon with Doyle sipping tea on the edge of madness. Is it scholarship or an enormous joke? I love this sort of literary hodgepodge. I found it fascinating if taken with just a grain of salt. Rosenberg links Holmes with Nietzsche, Wilde, Dionysus, Jesus Christ, Catullus,Bunyan, Browning, Boccaccio, Bonaparte, Racine, Frankenstein, Flaubert, George Sand, Plato, Poe, Neruda, etc. etc. etc. Is that your cup of tea? Sip it carefully. Have a ball.
