  1. 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.

  3. “[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

  4. @vitex Třeba takoví #LittleBig se rozdělili a teď jsou v USA
  5. 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!

  6. 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.

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

  9. @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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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: youtube.com/watch?v=ieumolVsiW

  13. 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

  14. It’s happening! My copy of Little, Big just arrived! I wished for it for five years before ordering it for my birthday a few years ago after surviving surgery. Worth the wait. #littlebig #johncrowley #incanabula #petermilton #neilgaiman

  15. I recall ordering this book back in 2011, but I know some people have waited even longer than I have for it to see the light of day. It was billed as the 25th anniversary edition of John Crowley’s brilliant Little, Big. But time passes, as it’s wont to do, and it‘s now the 40th anniversary edition of a book originally published in 1981 and arriving in February 2023…

    At 2.6kg, it’s so heavy I can barely lift it.

  16. The story of this book's publication is incredible, like a literary fable about the impossibility of publishing the perfect edition. I ordered my copy in my twenties and it's finally being delivered... well, after one last delay!

    500 buyers are still MIA, so please spread the word if you might know anyone who loves John Crowley's 'Little, Big'.

  17. Ihren Song für den ESC bezeichnet Manizha als Manifest - gegen Vorurteile und für mehr Frauenrechte. Die selbstbewusste Sängerin polarisiert und fasziniert.
