Yes, yes; I am rereading Little, Big.
Again.
There’s always time.
There’s only time.

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.

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 ist nur andere Stellen als zuvor. Wie… ?
Ein überaus seltsames Wunder von einem Buch.

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.

“[Little Big] feels like … a project that I’m going to keep turning to throughout the years. All of us in the band have a feeling of fellowship that we’ve started to build that is very special. The band also feels like an outlet for something I’m after creatively. I feel there’s something here with this particular intersection of different styles of music in the music we’re making. There’s still a lot more to find.” - Aaron Parks

@vitex Třeba takoví #LittleBig se rozdělili a teď jsou v USA -
Ordered June 8th, 2008; received July 1st, 2024. The signed, numbered Incunabula "25th" (now "40th") anniversary edition of John Crowley's Little, Big.
That is the longest I've ever waited for a book order, and, honestly I'd pretty much given up on ever seeing it. But it's here, and it's beautiful!

We waited for this for a very long time, but it was worth the wait. It's a beautiful edition.
We have copy 101 of 300.

#LittleBig's art has always been great fun to watch, and this video's aesthetic is just as good and even better!

@johnny Právě, že co jsem viděl na netu živáky #LittleBig , tak tam rozhodně nikdo nestál a nemával .. toho pohybu tam bylo tolik, že mě to bolí i za ně..
A pak vidíš dvouměsíční šňůru, kde maj mezi koncíkama den rozestup a říkáš si, jestli jsou to lidi a co vůbec berou 😁

#banger business. Delving into the back catalogue of #LittleBig. I don't want to be that guy but also their earlier stuff is less memey and more visceral. Strongly anti-#Russian throughout, which is nice.

A band I'd love to see live at some point even though their videos are probably more than half the fun. Touring in America soon, Little Big.
-
I like #LittleBig, but I've been distracted by other things the last couple of years, so I didn't notice that they left #Russia for #LosAngeles almost a year ago. Good for them. Interview on this in the thread - here's Pendejo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieumolVsiWI

I’d almost forgotten about these guys. https://youtu.be/ieumolVsiWI #LittleBig #pendejo #WTF #MusicVideo

I have a short, exciting new book I want to read, but am only a third of the way through a weighty tome that, although I’m really enjoying it, is really hard work and heavy going. I cannot break the habit of a lifetime and put the big book aside for the little one, or, heaven forbid(!) read two books at once 😩 #littleBig #redTeamBlues
