Jurgen

Jürgen was one of James Branch Cabell's classic works. I re-read it a few months back, and it struck me how appropriate the subject matter was. Actually, the entire tone of Cabell's work, dripping with irony and the rather relaxed urge to skewer public institutions (and private ones), is appropriate bed-time reading for the modern young person who has been feed a steady drip diet of mainstream opinion and media.
