“The Magus is one of my all-time favorite novels. I would say the book most "similar" to The Magus -- though I have not read it -- would be "The Wanderer" by Alain - Fournier ("Le Grand Meaulnes," France, 1913). I had read somewhere that this is the single book that John Fowles stated influenced his best novel, The Magus.”
