Representaion During Books Calenture
New edition of Storm Constantine's visionary science fantasy novel. Casmeer is the only living soul left in Thermidore, high atop the mountains of Overhang. So it has been for hundreds of years. Immortal historian and chronicler, Casmeer is the self-appointed keeper of the city's remains and its crystalline inhabitants. Finnigin is a young terranaut, whose people collect the crystal fragments from Thermidore that wash down from the mountains to use as pilot stones to guide the floating cities across the Flatlands. Finnigin is forced to leave his people on an initiation of manhood, to journey across the plains and confront the mystery of the pilot stones. Ays is a Priest of Hands, a consoler to the dying, in the floating city of Min. His faith shaken by the words of a dying man, he undertakes a journey of his own, and leaves his flying city to face the unknown on the Flatlands. But as both Ays and Finnigin travel throughout their world, they are haunted by a mysterious figure who seems to know more about them than they do themselves. When Ays and Finnigin cross paths, they find their lives linked in ways they could not have imagined. While in Thermidore, Casmeer, the last immortal, has one last chronicle to write. Storm Constantine is a literary fantast of outstanding power and originality. . .Calenture [is] exotic, erotic and packed with surprises. - Michael Moorcock This is fantasy that lives and breathes. . . and leaves the reader a little wiser when the last page is turned. -Locus

Avoid all reviews and don't read the "Introduction from the Author." Had I done either of those things... I just can't see how this book would have made me bleed and laugh and everything like it did.It's okay to read this review. [Oh, Chy, you would say that, wouldn't you?] Well, this isn't a review of the book. It's more like a reader's blog entry, or a "Why I wrote that first sentence."Look, I got this because I'd read the Wraeththu trilogy---the first one. I order the trilogy she wrote yearsIn short, two figments of Casmeer's imagination go on a journey to discover the purpose of their lives...This wasn't what I was expecting when I first bought the book, but it blew me away. I think while reading people always try to guess what is going to happen next (at least that's what I do) but every thing I thought would happen was way off. This was genuinely the most unique book that I have ever read and I find that it is something like an abstract painting; every time you look at it, it
A book for those who enjoy the journey more than the destination. Pretty but occasionally rambling.
*note to self. Copy from A.
I dont think I was in the mood for a book when I read this, otherwise I might have enjoyed it more. Even though Ive never read Alice In Wonderland, there are odd scenes that make me think of it, just the weird surreality of it.
Thought provoking, enjoyable novel
