The Rook is a mostly well written and enjoyable story, and I agree with a lot of what was said in that regard. It's Read more of this blog post »

“One of my favorites from my favorite author of all time:
The story-maker proves a successful 'sub-creator'. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is 'true': it accords with the laws of that world.
