Mehso-so

(1976) What a perplexing book. The plot is a grab bag of science fiction tropes and pop-psychology weirdness: time travel, Jungian psychology, psychic powers, et cetera. At its best the story is exuberantly bonkers; but its creepy 1970s sensibilities also give us attempted rapes and a villain whose intersexuality is played for freakishness. Sometimes fun, sometimes ick, it's a hot mess
