    Il a tiré sa révérence le 8 août dernier à l'âge de 83 ans. On se souviendra notamment du Parlement des fées (World Fantasy Award) et plus récemment Kra (GPI et Prix Imaginales).

    Tristesse... Quels souvenirs de lectures gardez-vous de lui ?

  5. Sad to hear of the death of the author and essayist, John Crowley.

    I picked up a second hand copy of his extraordinary novel Little, Big in paperback some time in the mid-80s, seduced at first by the Ursula K. LeGuin endorsement: "a book that all by itself calls for a redefinition of fantasy." But I’d say it’s even more than that.

    I’d never encountered anything like it and it’s one of those books which immediately altered the course of my reading life, very likely for the better.

  21. Es wird Herbst (oder ist bereits Winter?). Geplant hatte ich nicht, John Crowleys "Little, Big" zum werweißwievielten Mal zu lesen, aber es passierte: Aufgeschlagen, ein Zitat gefunden, vorn angefangen und ich war wieder verloren.

    Phantastische Literatur trifft mich selten so emotional wie dieses Buch. Little, Big berührt mich und mir kommen an manchen Stellen die Tränen. Es sind nur andere Stellen als zuvor. Wie… ?

    Ein überaus seltsames Wunder von einem Buch.

  26. Ich möchte gern noch einmal den Ægypt Zyklus meines Lieblingsautors John Crowley – alles vier langen, literarisch-langsamen, wundervollen Bände, die er „Occult Novels“ nannte.

    I was recently reminded of John Crowley's "LIttle, Big".

    It's a fantasy family saga - or is a work of magical realism? - from the early eighties that won a couple of awards and that enjoys a cult following.

    I read it some time ago and remember feeling disappointed. The "faerie" world, far from enchanting me, struck me as twee in places, and I also recall being put off by some self conscious "fine writing".

    I also think I remember an African American character called Fred Savage who offered aid and advice in hoky dialect to a white protagonist before turning into a tree - in short, the Magical Negro trope at its worst.

    Or have I misremembered this? I can't find Fred Savage referenced in the Wikipedia article on the book.
