Glossolalia; or don't scream it on the mountain
|
|
Glossolalia Release!
Been quite sometime since I've posted a blog!
My new novel Glossolalia is out today! Get it in paperback, audiobook, or ebook.
Back cover: Glossolalia; or don't scream it on the mountain
“My name is Ineluki. I come from past the mountains and ice. It took me many days to reach here. All I know are dead. Will you take me in?”
And so begins a calamitous year at the edge of the world.
Chief for the year, Read more of this blog post »

Exhausting and exhaustive, which is exactly the kind of history I like to read. And this is monumental and wildly fascinating. Structurally, I love this book. You watch the improbable rise of an idealist, who must occasionally bend his ideals and mora ...more |

There's a burning question at the center of this enormous book in this enormous in-progress series. Perhaps, actually, it's two questions: 1. Is this even good? 2. Do I even like this? Maybe the strangest aspect of these two questions is the third quest ...more |

| I bought a bunch of these Drizzt books a few years ago, planning on racing through them because I figured they'd be fun adventures. And they kind of are, but I think they'd all benefit from being maybe 100 pages instead of 300. There's just a lot of ...more | |

Honestly fairly disappointed in this. Was expecting more. Was expecting more creativity, something a bit more interesting. It is solid and moves well and is consistently engaging. It reminds me, though, of a weaker Joe Abercrombie. Not as funny or exc ...more |

“The ocean of the past, I still hide from so much of it and rely on all that I don't run from. Everything before him, I waited for the nightmare to end, and it did when he accepted me into his arms. It was a new birth, a new life, but it flashed too briefly and left me with only these rabid bits of time that eat me, these memories that haunt me, but he, the ghost I need, remains lost.”

“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”

“You should know that there is little you can seek in this world, that there is no need for you to be so greedy, in the end all you can achieve are memories, hazy, intangible, dreamlike memories which are impossible to articulate. When you try to relate them, there are only sentences, the dregs left from the filter of linguistic structures.”

“You shall be my roots and
I will be your shade,
though the sun burns my leaves.
You shall quench my thirst and
I will feed you fruit,
though time takes my seed.
And when I'm lost and can tell nothing of this earth
you will give me hope.
And my voice you will always hear.
And my hand you will always have.
For I will shelter you.
And I will comfort you.
And even when we are nothing left,
not even in death,
I will remember you.”

YO!!"In October 2017, Erikson announced that Walk in Shadow would be delayed while he instead worked on the first book of The Karsa Orlong Trilogy." -- http://malazan.wikia.com/wiki/Walk_in...
Thanks for accepting my friends request, Edward.
edward: thank you so much for accepting my request. You have a great diversity in your literary tastes. Much that interests!

I kept hitting the friend button and it wasn't working and I was like, What the hell's going on!
And, yeah, hangouts are great.
