Om forfatteren

Charles de Lint, an extraordinarily prolific writer of fantasy works, was born in the Netherlands in 1951. Due to his father's work as a surveyor, the family lived in many different places, including Canada, Turkey, and Lebanon. De Lint was influenced by many writers in the areas of mythology, vis mere folklore, and science fiction. De Lint originally wanted to play Celtic music. He only began to write seriously to provide an artist friend with stories to illustrate. The combination of the success of his work, The Fane of the Grey Rose (which he later developed into the novel The Harp of the Grey Rose), the loss of his job in a record store, and the support of his wife, Mary Ann, helped encourage de Lint to pursue writing fulltime. After selling three novels in one year, his career soared and he has become a most successful fantasy writer. De Lint's works include novels, novellas, short stories, chapbooks, and verse. He also publishes under the pseudonyms Wendelessen, Henri Cuiscard, and Jan Penalurick. He has received many awards, including the 2000 World Fantasy Award for Best Collection for Moonlight and Vines, the Ontario Library Association's White Pine Award, as well as the Great Lakes Great Books Award for his young adult novel The Blue Girl. His novel Widdershins won first place, Amazon.com Editors' Picks: Top 10 Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of 2006. In 1988 he won Canadian SF/Fantasy Award, the Casper, now known as the Aurora for his novel Jack, the Giant Killer. Also, de Lint has been a judge for the Nebula Award, the World Fantasy Award, the Theodore Sturgeon Award and the Bram Stoker Award. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

There are only so many graphic depictions of battered women that I can take and this book exceeded my threshold.

This book was the perfect antidote to the last book I read, so I fell in happily to De lint's world of fairies and worlds beyond. The characters are kind of idealized. They're the cadre of best buddies that everybody wants, but I think few people rarely have.

Nevertheless, I was up for some wishful idealized relationships so I don't fault De lint for that because it made reading the trials of the main character that much easier knowing she had all these friends that constantly spew unconditional love at her.

My one problem with the book was the southern accent that came with one of the POV characters. It was bad, and if it had been relegated to the dialogue only, I wouldn't complain. It was everything within that character's POV though. Being from the south, I've never met anyone with grammar that atrocious and certainly not anyone who uses more colorful metaphors per minute than Mike Huckabee (who is himself a somewhat dishonest characterization).

It’s always a pleasure revisiting Charles De Lint’s novels that tread the perfect line between reality and the world of myth, but something about the books he writes set in the deserts of the American south hit different. I adore the Canadian touches that he brings to many of his stories, but most of them are decidedly East Coast - in their language, their land/cityscapes, and their indigenous mythology. I grew up surrounded by cacti, sagebrush, and the dry heat of a semi-arid landscape (even though epic mountains, tall trees, and running rivers were also dominant), so being able to explore stories that revealed the magic of the desert felt instantly familiar and inspiring in a different way. This novel in particular is one of my favourites, since we get to see familiar characters from Newford (a semi-east coast city) discover the desert for the first time and awaken a magic that they connect with in unexpected ways. Laurel and Bess have already experienced an adventure in faerie, but their experience was not exactly a pleasant one (I’ll have to dig out that novel again soon, because who can resist a story about the bee-folk!) and they’ve come away from the experience wary, if not borderline hostile, to the magic that lies hidden in every landscape. Playing the other side of the stage in this tale are a cast of shapechangers, whom De Lint has modeled after indigenous legends of the animal people and the spirits that inhabit all living things. Caught at the end of a bargain that gave a jackalope and a red dog human form for 100 years Bess and Laurel must face their fears and learn to embrace a new landscape if they want to walk this tale along the medicine road and come out the other side. Life and death may not be the stakes here, as De Lint takes the indigenous lore and unique themes to heart, so his tale comes to an unexpected and more natural end that doesn’t feel like an ending. The twins have made roots in this desert landscape, and while they’re unlikely to settle their travelling musician’s roots anytime soon, it seems certain that they’ll take a part of the desert (and the things they learned there) with them as they continue on their journey. The Cousins, too, have learned that bargains aren’t always what they seem, and even members of the coyote clan aren’t always up to their expected tricks!… (mere)
