It is also a slow read with unconventional pacing. Imajica is filled with brilliant imagery, lavish descriptions, complex characters, and an intense, epic plot. It is also about the various people who move in and out of their lives, and how they may be affected by an event known as the Reconciliation ~~ the time for which is quickly approaching. This is the story of John Furie Gentle Zacharias ~~ a con man with mysterious powers, and his friend, guide, and eventual lover Pie'oh'Pah. It's also huge ~~ but Clive Barker manages to fill each page with something compelling. I bought a copy and quickly forgot about it while I instead read the Pistis Sophia: A Gnostic Gospel ~~ if you read my A Little Boy in Search of God: Mysticism in a Personal Light review, you'll know I was a weird kid.Ģ0 odd years later, I finally dug out my copy of Imajica after my friend, Spenky, choose it as my March Big Book Read. Surprisingly, our biggest seller for nearly six months was Clive Barker’s Imajica ~~ in hardcover no less. Selected by Spenky for March 2022 Big Book Readīack in my youth, I worked at a New Age bookstore. Afraid of letting go of what we are, in case we are nothing, and holding on so tight, we lose everything else.
