About this listen
-Hagbard Celine, The Golden Apple
Illuminatus! Part II, from the original and genuine trilogy of conspiracies, is performed in all its unabridged brilliance by a full ensemble cast.
Packaged in a carnival bundle of timeless truths and Joycean high camp, The Golden Apple serves as a perennial instruction manual for life on Earth in which you'll be lucky enough to learn: the Guerrilla Ontology of Markoff Chaney; the secret history of Atlantis; why gorillas and dolphins don't ordinarily talk to humans; the conspiracy against sex; the origins of the Trojan War (starring Eris, the namesake of our solar system's newest planet); the startling truth about UFOs; and the final secret of the Illuminati. Consider yourself warned.
Don't miss Illuminatus! Part I: The Eye in the Pyramid (Unabridged).©1975 Robert J. Shea and Robert Anton Wilson (P)2006 Deepleaf Productions Inc.Listeners also enjoyed...
Critic reviews
"One of the most amusing, most imaginative fantasies to come along in a while....Spaced out, erotic, funny, masterly...the nth degree of surrealism....Readers will love the whole psychedelic puzzle." ( Publishers Weekly)
"After 300 [pages] I was having too much fun to quit, and by the end I was eager to believe every word: even if the only conspiracy at work here is Shea and Wilson's devilish exploitation of our need to made ordered sense out of everything under the sun....I loved it." (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone)

Not Narrated by Ken Campbell
Part one of the Trilogy was Narrated by Ken Campbell. He had a historic connection with the book, having presented a stage version in the 70s. He understood the tone and humour of the book. You could hear him and his friends struggling not to laugh in some parts. He is a hard act to follow.
Unfortunately part 2 is delivered with a rather serious dramatic tone that misses most of the humour and hence the essence of the writing. Grim.
