Author Jack Pendarvis, writing on his blog - Jack Pendarvis has a “Blog” - requests that you focus on the this paragraph in the New York Times’ review of his new novel, Awesome:
Pendarvis is a gifted, good-humored writer. He’s wry and silly, his language full of provocative puns, eloquent blarney and tips of the hat to the absurdity of modern culture. At his best, he is neo-Chaucerian. If you’re game, he’ll show you a rude, jolly time in a universe at once fantastic and familiar. Fi fie foe fun!
Pendarvis’ reading at Wordsmiths was a highlight of the summer. I’ll get my own review of the book up soon — now that the Olympics are over and life can resume again once more.
