Interested in picking up Charles Baxter’s book on the strength of the “Rhyming Action” essay I read in, um, Michigan Quarterly? May have to pick it up on line.
Saw the new Steven Brust book last night, Paths of the Dead, but it seems to be in the same vein as the Khaavren romances. I enjoy Dumas; I spent one finals week in college enmeshed in the three-volume translation of Count of Monte Cristo, er, Cômte de Monte Cristo? Eh. However, it seems more affected when Brust uses it, because I suppose I prefer his other works: Agyar, the Taltos books, Sun Moon Stars, et alia.
