Such a tight control of language I have never read in a novel. It went skittering off down the canyon wall with the contents of the panniers exploding soundlessly in the hot dry air and it fell through sunlight and through shade, turning in that lonely void until it fell from sight into a sink of cold blue space that absolved it forever of memory in the mind of any living thing that was.Ī novel that deserves to be called biblical, a construct of bleak mythic proportions, an emptily exuberant wasteland, deeply serious, deeply violent, deeply significant. The following evening as they rode up onto the western rim they lost one of the mules. Psychologically sparse, sensorily dense altogether incredible, the prose blended a deep purple. A strange mixture of sparsity and density. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book certainly fired my curiosity and I could not resist a visit to Carcassonne to see the medieval cité for myself.

I graduated from Williams College in ’98 and I currently live in Boston with my husband, my perfect new baby, and my adorable yoodle Sunshine (what’s a yoodle? A puppy that’s three-quarters poodle and one-quarter Yorkshire terrier, of course!). because it was artistically fulfilling, yes.) I was born July 31 (same birthday as Harry Potter!) in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay Miami, Florida and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre-mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys.
