On a very quick note... Consciously, or subconsciously... these three works all have something in common (in a glassbeadgame-sort-of-sense) - and 'The Men Who Stare at Goats' was a delight for S. and I to see the other night. I was glad to see yet another work added to the League library - Bravo Clooney and Heslov.
1) Protagonist/member who was once - part of the league, then has gone on alone
2) Sometimes doubting if the league/teacher ever did exist; doubting the truth and purpose of the league
3) Finding redemption - rediscovering the league and hearing "the symphony of the universe" (Novices of Sais) in a new chord
4) Finding one's true role in life, and always on the neverending road to Socratic/Romantic higher. understanding
5) A journey of the mind - as well as of place
- Will leave the rest for others to post...
Long live the League!
