Reading a book, SM Stirling's Theater Of Spies, not published yet, I might not so much tell you what is there as tell you what to look out for. In ONE and TWO:
a fresh new one-line description of the Milky Way that will join our Milky Way Thread;
the moon making a long glittering path over the sea - we have had such descriptions of light on water before;
three (presumably) delicious ways to eat steak that will join our Food Thread.
Of course, there is also an enemy plot and a daring mission but you don't need me to tell you that.
Back here this evening, I hope.
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteAnd does Stirling repeats Anderson's idiosyncratic (and controverted) use of "glade" describing how light shines on such waters? I saw Anderson using "glade" like that in at least one of the "History of Rustum" stories in NEW AMERICA.
Try as I might, I simply can't see HOW Anderson could have used the word "glade," meaning an open space within a wooded area, for describing how light shines on waters.

Sean,
ReplyDeleteStirling does not.
I quoted Anderson's "moonglade" in "Elvenveil And Emperor."
