Gerade eben von meinen besten Freundinnen geschenkt bekommen.
Bin schon wahnsinnig gespannt darauf, wie das Buch ist. Hatte jedenfalls schon seit langer Zeit ein Auge drauf,
und freue mich gerade wie bløde!
Zum Buch:
"A strange and curious novel, steeped in the lingering incense and paganism of the
fin-de-siècle."
- Phil Baker
"Nina Antonia's
The Greenwood Faun is a haunted, haunting work. Summoning up Lucian Taylor, the hallucinated hero of Arthur Machen's
The Hill of Dreams, Nina channels the curious, captivating story of what happened to Lucian's literary masterpiece after his death, and how it both saves and destroys those who come across it after it is posthumously published. Shot through with decadence, poetry, opium, and incense, with the ghost of Lionel Johnson as psychopomp and the Great God Pan heavy in the fields, this is a beautifully written proem: witty, crepuscular, enchanting, surprising."
- David Tibet
"Decadent in style and, more importantly, in spirit,
The Greenwood Faun captures the lush sentiment as well as the mordant irony of the
fin-de-siècle, and contrives a delicate balance between them. I loved it."
- Brian Stableford
