Mar. 29th, 2005 12:59 amAs the book proceeds I find Crowley is completing several years worth of my own unfinished thoughts, and is amazingly deft at embodying everything in event, image or aphorism. It's crucial in this area to not overname.
The conceit of his I admire most so far is the only one I found entirely strange, that of a plural nature to the force in question: its being represented as fairies rather than a god or devil or other singularity. Nicknames I've used in my private musings have been things like the memory monster, Mama Evolution, The Plan, the underyou. I wonder what gave him the idea, genotypes? Probably just his angle of approach, religion's roots in family mysteries and pressures. There are distinctions, competitions, irresolutions within the half-system, the ununanimous uninanimus.
Simultaneously excited and worried by the subtitle, "The Fairies' Parliament". Gathering them in the flesh, or anyway as characters, will diminish them and their significance if not handled just right. But he's made no mistakes so far.
Word at a Yahoo fan group is that he's rewriting Endless Things, the conclusion to his 25-years-in-the-making Aegypt series, because no publisher will take it on. Lord Byron's Novel comes out in a couple months, and sounds fascinating.
