Nouvelles, Nouvelles

No, I'm not starting my caroling in July; however, it seemed appropriate for the news I'm about to share:  recently I received word that a collaborative novel we had been shopping around for some time has sold and should be published about the middle of next year.  Needless to say, I am utterly delighted having long relegated this novel to the ranks of those that would be published upon the advent of my next, more successful endeavor!

    Fred and Jeff,

    Thank you both. With your high tolerance of SF, Fred, you may find much to like once it is published. The work has been described by my collaborator as "Alice in Wonderland goes through the wormhole at the edge of expanding space and returns the Count of Monte Cristo." Succinct but not entirely inaccurate description.

    shalom,

    Steven

    Steven,

    "Alice in Wonderland goes through the wormhole at the edge of expanding space and returns the Count of Monte Cristo."

    Sounds interesting--part of China Mieville's "New Weird" movement?

Reprint Time--Helena

A comment from the blogkeeper at Underbelly (thank you Buce) inspired me to look this up.  I was fairly certain that I had reviewed the book in the recent past, and so I discovered this.  a good book is worth appreciation--over and over and over again. Also, while you are appreciating, you might want to take in Underbelly's look at Helena as well.    La Belle Hélène on March 18, 2005 8:11 AM In reading Helena last night I stumbled across a large number of passages I would like to share. But I thought the more important thing to share was an observation. Evelyn Waugh liked this best among his books. There are a good many reasons why this might be so: it is splendidly written--both the prose and the coherence are several notches above some of his earlier, more frenetic work. It is tightly done, with just the right strokes and exactly the right selection of detail. But I suspect the reason Waugh prized this above all the other works is that in t...

Human and Humane Sometimes in the face of such evil the only human response is apology, is listening to the stories you do not want to hear or believe and accepting them as part of the world you do not know and then making amends--truly setting things to rights, truly liberating the captive who has been so long languishing through a sin-- not commission, not truly omission, but complete inattention, indifference. It is indifference that robs us of any trace of humanity-- the willingness to allow things to be, so long as they don't affect me or mine. Indifference tamps down the cobbles with which hate paves the pathway to hell for all of us. Indifference is an invitation to inhumanity.
