Kra de John Crowley, chez #editionslatalante

Une Corneille qui traverse les siècles, dans le sillage de la mort et aux côtés des Humains. Un roman tout autant récit initiatique, conte philosophique, mythologie que post-apo. Une très très belle lecture ❤️ pour en lire mieux ⬇️

Es wird Herbst (oder ist bereits Winter?). Geplant hatte ich nicht, John Crowleys "Little, Big" zum werweißwievielten Mal zu lesen, aber es passierte: Aufgeschlagen, ein Zitat gefunden, vorn angefangen und ich war wieder verloren.

Phantastische Literatur trifft mich selten so emotional wie dieses Buch. Little, Big berührt mich und mir kommen an manchen Stellen die Tränen. Es sind nur andere Stellen als zuvor. Wie… ?

Ein überaus seltsames Wunder von einem Buch.

Ich möchte gern noch einmal den Ægypt Zyklus meines Lieblingsautors John Crowley – alles vier langen, literarisch-langsamen, wundervollen Bände, die er „Occult Novels“ nannte.

I was recently reminded of John Crowley's "LIttle, Big".

It's a fantasy family saga - or is a work of magical realism? - from the early eighties that won a couple of awards and that enjoys a cult following.

I read it some time ago and remember feeling disappointed. The "faerie" world, far from enchanting me, struck me as twee in places, and I also recall being put off by some self conscious "fine writing".

I also think I remember an African American character called Fred Savage who offered aid and advice in hoky dialect to a white protagonist before turning into a tree - in short, the Magical Negro trope at its worst.

Or have I misremembered this? I can't find Fred Savage referenced in the Wikipedia article on the book.

Lovely and sad, that's what today's film is.

I just finished reading "Beasts" by John Crowley and really loved it, but good lord that ending felt abrupt. Please sir may I have some more? 😆

On to "Engine Summer."
