John Ogilby, 1665. Homer his Odysses translated, adorn’d with sculpture, and illustrated with annotations.

Saw Nolan’s Odyssey and also had my first author event in Colombo, an interview at Lakmahal Community Library in Bambalapitiya. The two things are not especially connected, except that they happened on the same day, and I cited the former briefly at the latter to talk about its disenchantment

Quotes by Vajra Chandrasekera  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Remember, son,” Mother-of-Glory says, compensating with pomposity for her deficits of piety or affection. “The only way to change the world is through intentional, directed violence.”
Vajra Chandrasekera, The Saint of Bright Doors

“Every time I led him to the right place at the right time, I first quietly eliminated all the places and times that were wrong. Luck is only someone else’s labour.”
Vajra Chandrasekera, The Saint of Bright Doors

“I voted for peace, even though peace seems like the kind of science fiction that posits a future utopia, sleek and bald and rational, without satisfactory explanation of how we get to there from here, this convoluted, bloody *here*, except by appealing to our better natures at critical moments, a long arc bending towards justice. It seems like science fiction, wrapped in a pulp cover.”
Vajra Chandrasekera, Rakesfall
