Anthony Thompson’s Reviews > The Golden Ass > Status Update

More than one mystic has hinted that The Golden Ass is supremely deep. When Socrates is speared by Witches in the first book and the narrator (having been pissed on by said witches) continues with a half alive Socrates until they reach the river and the philosopher dies, I'm left thinking the mystics were right. In Apuleius I find Voltaire a millennium and a half early.

This is brilliant.
