Praise for John Crowley: "Like a magus, John Crowley shares his
secrets generously, allowing us to believe that his book is
revealing the true and glorious nature of the world and the
reader's own place within it."—Village Voice "[Crowley] transforms
the lead of daily life into seriously dazzling artistic
gold."—Newsday Often de-scribed as an alchemical allegory, John
Crowley instead decided this is "the first science fiction novel."
After all "it's fiction; it's about the possibilities of a science;
and it's a novel." No matter what else it might be, it's definitely
"one of the great outlandish stories in Western literature." With
eight appropriately weird and fascinating black and white woodcuts
by Theo Fadel. John Crowley was born in Presque Isle, Maine, in
1942. He moved to New York City after college in Indiana to make
movies, and did find work in docu-mentary films, an occupation he
still pursues. He has published many novels including the Ae-gypt
quartet and Little, Big. He teaches creative writing at Yale
University. In 1992 he received the Award in Literature from the
American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He finds it
more gratifying that almost all his work is still in print. Theo
Fadel has a BA in Archeology (Bryn Mawr) and a Master of
Architecture from Co-lumbia University. Currently her studio is in
Easthampton, and she's been in Massachusetts less than a hundred
years. This is the first book she has illustrated.
