Jim Morrison: Fables of the Fall

By Doug Franks

In Jim Morrison: Fables of the Fall, Volume 1, Doug Franks presented a mesmerizing interpretation of Morrison's imagery and symbolism that is destined to become a classic in the field. Volume 2 continues the exploration of the intellectual roots of Morrison's philosophy in Arthur Rimbaud and Avant-garde cinema. This absorbing volume offers illuminating commentary on the intersection of esoteric thought and the history of film, and the meaning behind cryptic verses such as the "Persian Night," the "Starling's flight," and the "Snake in the glen." Franks covers these topics and more as he investigates the influence of Billy the Kid, Gnosticism, alchemy, and sex magik on the poet's artistic vision.
