The Flight to Lucifer

Novel by Harold Bloom

Blurb

The Flight to Lucifer is a 1979 book by the American literary critic Harold Bloom. His only novel, it was composed as a sequel to the David Lindsay 1920 novel A Voyage to Arcturus, which supplied the concept of a voyage through space to a distant planet created by a demiurge, and a few other incidental features of the book. However, most of its content derives fairly directly from Gnosticism, which Bloom had studied.
Bloom has stated that he does not like the novel and has disowned it, although it has received very positive reviews from other sources.
