Got the book and material on Japanese mother-son incest, thank you very much!
Glad you got it! I don't quite remember how on crack the articles are... haven't flipped through them in a while.
This has an interestingly weird premise but is not very successful as a book, as I recall. This is his first novel.
I had no idea! For some reason, I always thought Sabriel was his first.
Have you read any of Connie Willis's short stories from Fire Watch or Impossible Things, especially the serious ones like "Jack" or "Fire Watch" (my favorite time travel story ever)? I like her short stories much better than her novels.
I've read Passage, which I had issues with, and made most of my way through Impossible Things. And while I feel sort of warm about some of the stories in there, none of them have really gripped me, so I think she may be one of those authors I just don't get.
And I actually did buy One for the Money, but for a friend! I ended up reading it because I borrowed it from the bookstore when I was working there (ahhh, bookstore as library... mmm). But now I have my own, ha!
