CLIP from the review:
Marly Youmans truly writes a unique kind of prose. This story, which is based on the life of pulp writer Robert E. Howard, could have been Texas dusty and dry, with characters as plain and weak as the mundane world around them. Instead what we get is a wealth of stories based on timeless figures both real and imagined, along with amazing descriptions of nature - all this on top of the plot itself.
...At the end we realize that a very toxic story has been bejeweled and bedecked with magical insights and sparkling prose.
It's wonderful that so many more people are sitting up and taking notice. Brava, Marly! The praise-filled attentions are hard earned and well deserved. Yes, the legions of Youmans' fans continue to grow. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteCheers to you, Tim--hope you are feeling good, or good enough!
