The... short story in the appendix of Hesse’s THE GLASS BEAD GAME is beautiful, and informs much about nature of Matriarchy and basis of the Apprentice system.

The Story of the Stone, Volume I: The Golden Days, Chapters 1-26

Cao Xueqin

It’s about a family in 18th century China who were a little high up... one of the main character’s sisters had become a consort of the emperor.... The author thought that the women he grew up with were so wonderful that he wanted history to know that they existed... The book is really beautiful.

this book is influencing how I see my life. It’s a first novel by brilliant screenwriter Charlie Kaufman... it is unique, bold and fantastic. I recommend it to anyone who is puzzled about this illusion we hold of ‘life’ and its contradictions. (as I am)
