I'm really enjoying this series. Clifton's familiarity with the deep classical and folkloric source materials keeps this fast-paced adventure from disappearing into the formulaic "dark fantasy" genre. His characters are complex and uncanny, but also funny and self-aware. The realms of Celebrity and Faery are a natural match for each other, and Clifton's long experience as a media commentator allows him to make some brilliant - but lightly layered - observations about the importance of recognizing just where our collective dreams and nightmares come from. It's become a truism that some of our most important contemporary literary works about the search for what is Real tend to take the form of fantasy, and it's writers like Clifton who are responsible for making the fantastic one of the most honest and human areas of storytelling today. Clifton himself puts it much better than I have here: http://www.jacobclifton.com/2015/05/i...
Looking forward to the next installment!
