Interesting.  It seems clear that you know a great deal more about
Jungian psychology than I.  I had not trouble enjoying the novel
as a straightforward story, with notes to myself to re-read it
to see what else was in it.  It may be that, comming from ignorence,
the books works better than you, who have some understanding of its
depths, might think.
