Masters of Atlantis by Charles Portis

Masters of Atlantis by Charles Portis

Lamar Jimmerson is the leader of the Gnomon Society, the international fraternal order dedicated to preserving the arcane wisdom of the lost city of Atlantis. Stationed in France in 1917, Jimmerson comes across a little book crammed with Atlantean puzzles, Egyptian riddles, and extended alchemical metaphors. It's the Codex Pappus - the sacred Gnomon text. Soon he is basking in the lore of lost Atlantis, convinced that his mission on earth is to administer to and extend the ranks of the noble brotherhood.

Charles Portis (1933-2020) was born and reared in Arkansas and spent the majority of his life there. He was a writer for The New Yorker and served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. He was also the London bureau chief of the New York Herald-Tribune. Norwood, The Hound of the South, Masters of Atlantis, and Gringos are his other novels, all of which are available from The Overlook Press. Escape Velocity: A Charles Portis Miscellany contains a collection of his writing.
