James Lansbury

Andy wrote this on TTF: Snaga- I just read 'Korzeniowski' by James Lansbury on the plane.

It was really quite a cool novel. It told a simple story but in a completely post-modern way in which the story is fragments of recollections recounted in many voices, complete with stage versions created, letters to editors, letters from literary analysts etc etc.

Its really quite interesting as its a complete contrast to the 'one version of the truth' certainties of Tolkien. I like Tolkien but I have to say I really don't agree with the black and white certainty of his world.… (mer)
