Page-Burner: We Have a Winner!
February 27, 2008
Anne guessed correctly, because she liked its cover, that I have been reading Black Ships by Jo Graham.
Black Ships is out from Orbit Books in a week or two, but I've got tell you a bit about it because it's quite unusual. Orbit specializes in science fiction and fantasy, and while Graham's novel may technically fit the fantasy category, it's actually a literary inversion, a retelling of Virgil's Aeneid.
I don't want to tell you any more until you've had a chance to find the book in your local bookstore, but I'll definitely talk about it again. I don't read a lot of SF/fantasy (maybe I should, but so many books...), and I would love to know about more like Graham's (and yes, I have read The Mists of Avalon!).
