mad. One chapter involves Merlin facilitating [[BrotherSisterIncest Arthur and Morgana's relationship]]. The next chapter has him explain that it never happened, he just induced a hallucination in Arthur (and himself, hence the ExactWords "If this is a dream, lord, it is one I share with you") ... and then immediately reveals that this is what he ''thought'' happened, but Morgana had other ideas. There are a few other moments when Merlin hides what's going on, thinks he knows what is going on but doesn't, or both simultaneously. He has, after all, gone mad and is telling this story to a pig.

In Robert Nye's version of Myth/ArthurianLegend, Guinevere is a stutterer, Arthur suffers from pathological sadism, and the devil prefers choir boys to virgins. But this is not why this book is interesting.
If a novel contains refined allusions to medieval theology and alchemy, makes an eye to the readers of Milton, Dante and Malory, has dialogues in Latin and metafictional interludes, only explicit pornography can save it from being torn to pieces by critics -- and this is what happened to Nye's book. It presents a theory of conspiracy staying behind the Arthurian legend, at the same time offering a satirical interpretation of medieval culture based on Freudian psychoanalysis. Somehow, all this is done almost exclusively by the means of dialogues and pornography (and no, it really cannot be called erotica). If it had not been for the fact that if you recommended it to your friends they would know that you have read it, it would be much more popular than it is.
