Masters of Atlantis (Book Review) By Michael Rogers [ A review of Masters of Atlantis, by Charles Portis, Transcribed by Alex T. Moore from Library Journal (May 15, 2000), for non-commercial use on The Unofficial Charles Portis Website (http://charlesportis.cjb.net). ] Portis is on a roll thanks to Overlook's rejuvenation of several of his older titles in recent months. This 1985 book "concerns the establishment of the order of the Gnomons, a secret society purporting to teach the hidden knowledge of Atlantis." Though LJ's reviewer found the book a tad over the top, he commented that "those who enjoy deadpan comedy should get a good laugh here" (LJ 10/15/85).
