Customer Reviews of Through the Narrow Gate: The Mythological Consciousness of Russell Hoban
Fascinating but all too brief Hoban analysis. If Hoban fans want to learn about the author there are three ways to do it--the first being the web site, but even that will lead you to the books. The most informative and interesting book about Hoban is his own 'Moment under the Moment' but this is unfortunately out of print. Through the Narrow Gate is your next best bet, but what most of the book focuses on is not Hoban himself but Wilke's analysis of Hoban's books, laden in depth psychology and the general Bollingen school of thought. The author's conclusions seem right on the mark, but I can't imagine too many Hoban fans who would find this sort of thing all that rewarding. The best thing here is an interview by Wilke of Hoban, and it is one of the best reviews I have read of him. I don't know if the cost is justifiable unless you must simply own any and everything related to Hoban. Clearly this was written for academic purposes alone, and outside of whatever field Wilke is in (Jungian study of literature???), her points, no matter how true, did not seem to further my understanding of Hoban. Still, it was a fun read.
