The novel is both bizarre and Allegorical , detailing the discovery and ascent of a mountain, the ''Mount Analogue'' of the title, which can only be perceived by realising that one has travelled further in traversing it than one would by travelling in a straight line, and can only be viewed from a particular point when the sun's rays hit the earth at a certain angle. Daumal, often described as one of the most gifted literary figures in twentieth-century France, died before the novel was completed, providing an uncanny one-way quality to the journey. Mount Analogue was first published posthumously in 1952 in French as ''Le Mont Analogue. Roman d'aventures alpines, non euclidiennes et symboliquement authentiques''. |
