He takes his time getting there-he tells three often charming book-length tales before arriving at the murders-but when he does, in a brutal and quietly strange landscape where neither David Lynch nor Cormac McCarthy's Anton Chigurh would feel out of place, he writes with a horror that is both haunting and deeply humane. But where the motion of The Savage Detectives is outward, expanding in wider and wider orbit to collect everything about our lonely world, 2666, while every bit as omnivorous, ratchets relentlessly toward a dark center: the hundreds of mostly unsolved murders of women in the desert borderlands of maquiladoras and la migra in northern Mexico. ![]() That fact, I think, goes a long way towards explaining the narrative fragmentation of the novel. ![]() And here it is: 2666, the 898-page novel he sprinted to finish before his early death in 2003, again showing Bolaño's mesmerizing ability to spin out tale after tale that balance on the edge between happy-go-lucky hilarity and creeping dread. In 2666 Bolano has attempted to make a novel, a form of writing that is tied essentially to narrative, out of something that resists our usual narrative activities. It was still another to read it and know, from the advance reports of Spanish readers, that Bolaño's true masterpiece was still to come. Amazon Best of the Month, November 2008: It was one thing to read Roberto Bolaño's novel The Savage Detectives last year and have your mind thrilled and expanded by a sexy, meandering masterpiece born whole into the English language. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Maas heir of fire![]() The Queen of the Fae remained silent, her long fingers moon-white and folded in the lap of her violet gown, a white barn owl perched on the back of her chair. She wasn’t getting out until Maeve allowed her. Rowan stepped away from her with his powerful, predatory ease and leaned against the door. An impenetrable wall, as old as the ward-stones surrounding the fortress. She was still pressed against Rowan as though he were a wall. The dark sister to the fair-haired Mab.Ĭelaena had been fooling herself into thinking this would be easy. Maeve was fearsome in her perfection, utterly still, eternal and calm and radiating ancient grace. ![]() And in some fortress that seemed far, far beneath the raven-haired beauty watching her with black, depthless eyes. ![]() She was to face the Queen of the Fae as Maeve wanted to be faced. She was not to have time to gather herself, to make up excuses and half truths, as she should have been doing these past few days instead of free-falling into silence and the misty cold. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Gutter Gang by Jay de Bekker![]() ![]() Paperback 461: Imposed Rebellion / James Williams.I like how she talks about bastards like they were astronauts or yetis.

Per an interview with Chuck Kallenback, who portrayed a Black Sun Vigo, Shannon McRandle was instrumental in using her skills as a makeup artist to assist in preparing the other stand-in models to look their part. Additionally, several Decipher employees including one of the main designers Chuck Kallenbach wore costumes and makeup to have their photos taken for the images of the other Expanded Universe characters used in the set. A similar image to this one, excluding Corran, made it onto the “This Place Can Be A Little Rough” objective card. ![]() There was even an oversized card made featuring Mara, Corran, and Talon all sitting at a cantina table that was given away at certain conventions, typically signed by McRandle, Stackpole, and Zahn. Stackpole and Timothy Zahn were used for the Corran Horn and Talon Karrde characters, respectively. While the digital art department created images for the Pulsar Skate, Stinger and Virago, Shannon McRandle was not the only model used for card images in this set. ![]() ![]() The work consists of experiments and analysis development.
