Beschreibung
Son of the manse Horatio Pagan yearns for a God-given and exalted destiny ― and discovers it in the murder of an aristocrat. John Herdman's beautiful and mysterious Edinburgh tale, Pagan's Pilgrimage. , first published in Scotland 1978. With nascent love abandoned and the recurring presence of the creeping 'wrinkled-nosed' laundry man of a traumatic childhood, the stagnating life of Pagan must be revived by the discovery of a somewhat questionable raison d'être ― the assassination of an aristocrat. The spleenful nature of Herdman's titular protagonist and a selection of odd experiences perfectly sets up a strife deep within a young man as he is called to this murder. In Pagan's Pilgrimage John Herdman expertly demonstrates his capacity to evoke complicatedly moralising characters with haunting effect. Equal parts absurd and ephemeral, Pagan's Pilgrimage is an enigmatical Edinburgh tale.
