description: In Snowy Tower Shaw gives a highly original telling of the grail epic Parzival. Dr Shaw claims the story as a great trickster tale of medieval Europe offering a commentary that ranges from climate change to the notion of soul erotic consciousness what he calls the hallucination of empire and a re-visioning of the speech of the ancient bards. Snowy Tower is the second book in Shaws the Mythteller trilogy. A daring work it offers a connection to the genius of the margins; that the big questions of today will not be met by big answers but by a myriad of mythic associations. After the eclecticism of A Branch from the Lightning Tree Snowy Tower is a deep exploration of one central narrative.
