In this video I chat briefly about the book Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. Other books mentioned are Stoner by John Williams. It is interesting that Mozart is a spirit guide to the main character in the book which reminded me of the Amazon Prime show Mozart in the Jungle where Mozart also appears as a spirit guide. The half wolf/half human character in the Steppenwolf goes on a journey of expanding consciousness where he discovers multiple aspects of himself and multiple realities. This reminded me of The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa who was very at home in alternate realities and multiple personas whom he called "heteronyms". The book was popular among people in the counter culture movement of the 1960s in the US and after reading it I can see why.
