Didn’t realize how strangely incomplete The book of the Dun Cow was until I read this, its natural completion. Are there two better books to discover, 25 years after the fact, than these? I will hunt down copies to be sure I can return to these books at a moment’s notice. This volume concerns the dissolution of the bonds that keep Wyrm locked under the earth, and the forgiveness that robs him of his triumph at the penultimate moment; and does so with such high language, such tenderness, that I wept openly multiple times. Consider this my humble effort to keep these books from passing out of the cultural memory. Essential.
Previous Book: 50. Netherland. Next Book: 52. The last lonely Saturday.

I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.
