TRANSFORMATIONS OF LUCIUS Based on Apuleius' "The Golden Ass" & "Apologia" Adapted and directed by Raymond Bobgan with the collaborative artists of Theatre Labyrinth Pilgrim Congregational Church, Cleveland, OH Reviewed by Linda Eisenstein Men dream; women scheme; rituals are performed; someone is reborn. That seems to be a core theme of director Raymond Bobgan 's performance adaptations for his experimental company Theatre Labyrinth , whose current production opened this weekend at Tremont's Pilgrim Congregational Church. Is the journey a spiritual transformation, an awakening from a fevered fantasy, or the pretext for a playful performance? And does it even matter if it's pleasantly enjoyable to watch? In " Transformations of Lucius ", Bobgan's adaptation of texts by the Roman writer Apuleius , the performers of Theatre Labyrinth turn yet more classical, mythic texts into their metaphysical playpen. That's meant as description rather than critique: director Bobgan admits in his program notes that their approach is "to remember what it's like when as children we made a play on a rainy day." The best moments of "Lucius" have exactly that quality: elfin, inventive children improvising a story via simple props and shifts in voice, like turning a yellow umbrella into a swan-like puppet, or conjuring "thieves!" by pulling a lock of hair over a woman's lip to create an instant mustache.

The Religious Dreamworld of Apuleius' `Metamorphoses': Recovering a Forgotten Hermeneutic James Gollnick. Wilfrid Laurier Univeristy Press for the Canadian Corporation for Studies in Religion. xiv, 178. $28.95 Reviewed in University of Toronto Quarterly Volume 70, Number 1 Winter 2000/01 - Letters in Canada 1999 by ROGER BECK James Gollnick takes the serious option, and his study of the `dreamworld' of Apuleius drives firmly to the conclusion that the dreams with which the novel is liberally interspersed (but any more so than comparable works of ancient fiction? - Gollnick doesn't say) are indices of the religious development of Lucius the narrator/protagonist. Co-opted into this dreamscape and privileged as an `archetypal' dream is the great inset story of Cupid and Psyche (`Love' and `Soul'), which Gollnick treats not merely as dreamlike but functionally as the principal dream of Lucius. To good effect, Gollnick brings his expertise as a practising psychotherapist to bear on the dreams themselves and on the ancient theories and practices of dream interpretation. These latter are clearly relevant however one reads the novel, and Gollnick displays them lucidly. He has one gem which he holds until near the end: Artemidorus, Oneirocritica 2.123, that dreams of `Serapis, Isis, Anubis, Harpocrates in person as well as their statues and rites and every story that is told about them' signify salvation for those in trouble and for those not in trouble `crises from which salvation will come when one's hopes and expectations have been abandoned.' In Winkler's sense, this should surely be Gollnick's hermeneutic `master text.'

Rushdie, Satire, and Alchemy Dr. Margareta Petersson , Lecturer, , Sweden Sometimes when he looked around him, especially in the afternoon heat when the air turned glutinous, the visible world, its features and inhabitants and things, seemed to be sticking up through the atmosphere like a profusion of hot icebergs, and he had the idea that everything continued down below the surface of the soupy air: people, motor-cars, dogs, movie billboards, trees, nine-tenths of their reality concealed from his eyes. ( The Satanic Verses Many motifs, even names and numbers, in Rushdie's extremely complex texts derive from the world of alchemy. In fact, his alchemical motifs, allusions, and symbolism create deep structures below the mimetic multiplicity of the novels. Without mapping these structures, it is difficult both to understand the intentionality of the novels and to defend Rushdie against his critics, who charge that he has appropriated Western and some may add cosmopolitan multiplicity. The concealed world of alchemical signs in his work, however, points to a far older tradition that has brought together cultures from East and West and that moreover works against the experience of disruption. Alchemy and the alchemical tradition provides a crucial context for Rushdie's novels. Allegory and satire provide two others. Rushdie often uses a particular type of satire, the Menippean. As Mikhail Bakhtin pointed out in

85. ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY V4N1 Nancy Shumate clearly distinguishes the auctor, Apuleius, from the actor, Lucius,and also takes into consideration the fact that the actor is also the narrator http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/ElAnt/V4N1/romano.html

ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY: COMMUNICATING THE CLASSICS AUGUST 1997 Volume IV, Number 1 University of Tasmania, Australia Crisis and Conversion in Apuleius' Metamorphoses Nancy Shumate The University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor 1996, pp. 337. Reviewed by: A.C. Romano, Department of Classical Studies, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria 3168, Australia. e-mail: Alba.Romano@arts.monash.edu.au The novel in Antiquity has been open game since the genre was not included in the accepted canon and until recently we had important works on the matter - John P. Sullivan, The Satyricon of Petronius and P.G. Walsh, The Roman Novel come to mind in secondary literature in English- that have carefully skirted the generic issue. Nancy Shumate tackles the problem head-on and, suggesting a new interpretation of the Metamorphoses , she inserts this novel squarely within in the narrative of religious conversion. We certainly welcome the author's theoretical narratological approach to the novel, based mostly on J.J. Winkler's Auctor and actor: A Narratological Reading of Apuleius's The Golden Ass (Berkeley 1985), although we would have liked to see a more comprehensive discussion of the matter. Some reference to major narratologists, such as Bakhtin, Todorov, Genette, Ricoeur would not only have made the study more ecumenical, but also would have clarified some points on which the author is uncertain.
