The White Dominican is Meyrinks most esoteric novel; and draws on the wisdom of a number of mystical traditions; the most important of which is Tao. It is set in a mystical version of the Bavarian town of Wasserburg; which sits on a promontory surrounded on three sides by the River Inn. The novel describes the spiritual journey of the simple hero; who; guided by a number of figures; (his eccentric father; the spirit of a distant ancestor; the protecting presence of his dead lover and the mysterious figure of the White Dominican); escapes the Medusa head of the world to a transfiguration; through which he joins the living chain that stretches to infinity.
