Often described 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.” Illustrated throughout with weird and fascinating woodcuts by Theo Fadel.

Quotes

  • Nikolai C.has quoted5 years ago
    We felt terrible in a way about this death, but still it seemed obvious to us that a naked dead blue bird wasn’t going to be of any further use, and we shrugged it off.
  • Nikolai C.has quoted5 years ago
    Deep mysteries made public are cheapened, and popularized things lose their value. So don’t throw pearls before swine, or make a bed of roses for a donkey.
