Books Reading Tonight
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 10:17 AM
One reading tonight.
Ken Scholes is reading from Lamentation at Third Place Books tonight. Here is what L.E. Modesitt, Jr. says about Lamentation:
"Ken Scholes' Lamentation is a whale of a first novel, set in a world where technological magic has come and gone, and come again, where organized religion has attempted to recover and restore lost knowledge, if with a certain amount of censorship, where no one is quite what they seem, and where parental ambitions for offspring are filled with deep love and sacrifices, along with double double-crosses, conflicting motives, and tragedy."
It sounds like a fantasy that is actually fast-paced, and it looks pretty interesting.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
