[Gocamino] Camino-related Lit: k/Dorette

[Elcaminomejala at aol.com]

Thanks for ur mail. 
 
k, I think u may have hit right on it in comparing Aviva to Coehlo,  that 
maybe being the reason why am having a diff time with the first  one-am not into 
the second one at all. I should give it half the chances  I've given Coehlo...
 
On the other hand am finishing a book by Toro de Suso which takes  place in 
Compostela, not directly Camino-related, but since it does take  place in 
Compostela, it has relevance and makes interesting points re: the  cathedral, 
Jacobean traditions, etc. Besides, it is well written and I  like Suso! 
 
I wonder what other Camino-related lit, fellow-pilgrims may  recommend?
 
Best,
 
xm 
 
 
I haven't but I wanted to- have read Sue Kenney's book,  tres fabulous..
What is challenging about The Journey?
 
thanks! dorette

Greetings,

I have read it and actually enjoyed it as a  novel work of fiction...It's not 
meant to be a first person  narrative as such, but rather an allegory for 
one's spiritual  quest.

What rang true for me was the heroine's lapses into  spiritual materialism, 
something even the most devout and serious  seekers encounter and sometimes 
fall in to.  If you want, read  it as a fable, similar to Paulo Coehlo's 
work...lots that rings  true, but...is it real?  On some levels, yes, but not 
 
literally. It is not about the Camino or other pilgrimages, though  those are 
in there, (as is adventure and rich description), but the  quest for 
transformation itself...something I think we're all on in  our own way.

Enjoyable if you are open to myths and  stories,
k
