This is an essay on John Crowley that is worth several weeks reading, delving into what’s mentioned. If I had a lifelist of books read, I could check to see what’s missing. But at this point, i see it as a seminar in mostly things I’ve missed, to add to my pile TBR. Thank you, @Henry Farrell.
A couple great books I knew nothing about! That does not happen frequently at my age. I went to Amazon to read samples & reviews & both (Flint and Mirror and Little Big) sound & read wonderful. What a lovely, completely unexpected gift. Thanks!
My God this is a wonderful, wonderful post! and I'm doubly thankful because you made me think of Donegal stories that my my mother came from Falcarragh told us when we were children

The hallucinatory quality of The Knife Against the Wave reminds me of Gogol. Especially his short story "The Nose", although that was pure comedy.

So many great stories, but In Blue holds a special place in my heart as a beautiful tale about burnout and finding solace.
