Just finished Matthew Hughes’ Majestrum from the esteemed Night Shade Books. While I was a little dissatisfied with the end, it was a very enjoyable read. It proposes some interesting things in an entertaining world with intelligence and a heap of drollity—I laughed out loud quite a bit. I think Mr. Hughes must at some point have read the Claude Levi Strauss in which he says: “Instead of opposing magic and science, it would be better to compare them as two parallel modes of acquiring knowledge.”
And now, some links you might enjoy (also, in lieu of my ever attending a college reunion):
Some nifty stuff, book assemblages, by an old artist friend from college, Frank Turek: http://ubustudio.com/book%20assemblage%20pages/bookassemblages.html.
If you like things like crime and spy jazz, exotica, and lounge music, check out the radio show of another old friend from college, Glen Leslie, at http://www.kfai.org/node/94.
And then there’s the occulture blog of yet another of them, a good friend in San Francisco, at http://mmothra.blogspot.com/.
