The Process by Brion Gysin is a groundbreaking novel that takes readers on a hallucinatory journey across the Sahara Desert.
The story follows Ulys O. Hanson, an African-American professor of the History of Slavery, who embarks on a pilgrimage through North Africa on a mysterious foundation grant.
Along the way, he encounters a series of eccentric characters, including Hamid, a mad Moroccan who transforms him, and Mya, the richest woman in creation, with her plans to make Hanson the puppet Emperor of Africa.
Gysin's novel is renowned for its evocative descriptions of the Sahara and its exploration of Sufi culture. Blending adventure with a deep psychological quest for self-discovery, The Process is a unique and compelling read that captures the essence of Gysin's experimental literary style.
This novel is a must-read for those interested in the Beat Generation and avant-garde literature.
