Grr...I should know better.<br /><br />Anyway, I totally agree. When I read Kay's "Tigana," I was at a point in my writerly journey that primed me to respond to the master of "good and evil depends upon the eyes one looks out of." It changed me as a writer, as a reader, and as a person. Come to think of it, most of my favorite books are favorites because of this "priming." They spoke to me in ways I needed to be spoken to, and that's why they've resounded, and stuck with me.Terri-Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468004163467894720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764159777348916628.post-44802497078294162762014-12-11T10:51:59.868-08:002014-12-11T10:51:59.868-08:00Karin, absolutely!

Nice post! I remember reading about ho...Mark here.<br /><br />Nice post! I remember reading about how Kay helped Christopher Tolkien prepare The Silmarillion for publication back in the day. And then later I stumbled on Tigana and Song for Arbonne. I was hooked. Rassan had a similar impact on me. Haven't read it in like 20 years, but I recall admiring the sense of pathos that permeated so much of that tale. Kay plays with that emotive language so precisely. I always get a healthy dose of the humanity of his characters every time I read his stuff. Might be time to dig through some boxes...Heroines of Fantasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169664399606524540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764159777348916628.post-44691824693816495812014-12-08T08:06:34.427-08:002014-12-08T08:06:34.427-08:00haha!
