A Possible Keats
- xchaotic 9y agoIt was great to read that, after reading the excellent Hyperion cantos by Dan Simmons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Cantos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Cantos
- strayamaaate 9y agoOne of the best set of science fiction novels I’ve read. I’m always surprised at how few sci-fi loving friends haven’t heard of the Hyperion Cantos. It should be required reading. Apparently it’s being made into a movie. All four books squeezed into a feature length film.
- jimmux 9y agoI can't imagine how they would manage that in one film. The first book alone feels more like a series, with each episode covering one pilgrim's tale. Then there's the time jump between the Hyperion books and the Endymion books. Maybe two movies could work. Maybe.
- voidhorse 9y agoI'm reading through Fleur Jaeggey's recently translated short story collection I Am the Brother of XX right now. If you enjoyed this piece by her, check it out. It's dark, glittering, terse yet rich, and thought-provoking.
- kwhitefoot 9y agoIf it's all as intense as "A Possible Keats" I think I'll give it a miss for the moment. I don't think enjoyed is the right word. Appreciated certainly, but not enjoyed.
- voidhorse 9y agoIt is all rather dark, condensed, and intense. Certainly not everyday reading for most.
