jazzfish: A red dragon entwined over a white. (Draco Concordans)
[personal profile] jazzfish
As of today The Dragon Waiting is back in print. It's got a lovely introduction by Scott Lynch, in which he draws the obvious-in-retrospect comparison above. (I think it was Brian Eno who said that only around a hundred people bought the first Velvet Underground album when it came out, but all of them went on to start their own band.)

As a reminder, [personal profile] rydra_wong has a better review of the book than I have ever been able to put together. Also [personal profile] skygiants has accurately and hilariously broken down the book's structure.

Also it turns out that one can get Josephine Tey ebooks for a buck apiece, which means that (once I get through The Black Count) I will be reading The Daughter Of Time and then rereading TDW for the nth time, just to see how the one plays off the other.

"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen

Yeah. That sounds about right.
