An interesting early sci-fi novel. The novel largely follows the journey of Maskull on a distant planet after he meets two odd characters in seemingly bizarre circumstances at a gathering. He faces many perils across surreal terrain and meets many fantastical inhabitants who exhibit odd features and extra limbs and organs. These meetings often take on philosophical slants as he discusses his motives and thoughts as well as explaining his morals and views on life. The novel builds nicely to a multi-layered ending. Good read, feel the dirge.
