That's it thank you, Teheuti!!
ahclem said:I'd heartily recommend the astonishing Little, Big by John Crowley. Not only does a tarot deck play a central part in the novel, but totally apart from that, it's just an amazing book.
Lee Bursten wrote a great review of it, so I won't bother repeating it here, but I just can't recommend it highly enough. Go read it. Really.
(One note, the Amazon link in Lee's review is to a no-longer-in-print version. The currently available version is here.)
And how did I miss your reply?!6 Haunted Days said:How did I miss this post?!
Little Big is on my top 5 books of all time. What complete melancholy enchantment. Each time you read it, something new reveals itself. Like the house, the words rearrange themselves. Crowley is a sheer brilliant word artist, he weaves stardust.
Has anyone seen the amazing 25th anniversary edition? You can get it in many formats, and you do not see this kind of craftmanship anymore! http://www.littlebig25.com/
I'll be getting one soon (I do so hope).
