Possibly THE seminal, defining work of modern light fantasy, highly influential on modern writers like RA Heinlein, and, mostly, just one of the most fun to read books published during the past 100 years, Jurgen should be on the to be read list of anyone who loves to laugh out loud as well as of those who like books that spawn sleepless nights of philosophical contemplation. Jurgen spawned one of the most important obscenity trials in American history during the Twenties, and it has lost none of it's relevancy with the passage of 90 years. Quite simply an amazing book by what may be the most unjustly forgotten writer.
