Y'all are killing me . . . all my reading is novel-research right now, but gah just a few passes on your site and the TBR stack grew by another foot. Stop reminding me of things I was meaning to read, please. ;) <br /><br />I will say that of the two, I thought Woman in the Dunes was the better craft, but Face of Another presses more of my favorite trope-buttons . . . looking forward to your review of it!lsjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913998417784580419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-1110365085656729212012-04-18T19:17:14.928-05:002012-04-18T19:17:14.928-05:00I had read Abe's The Woman in the Dunes years ...I had read Abe's <i>The Woman in the Dunes</i> years ago and thought it was near-brilliant, but it had been a while since I had thought of him, so it was a serendipitous discovery at the used bookstore :D<br /><br />Hope there'll be plenty more content for you to enjoy, even though most of my reviews are now posted at <a href="http://gogolsovercoat.com" rel="nofollow">Gogol's Overcoat</a> (non-genre, that is; there will be more SF/F reviews posted here in the next 2-4 weeks).Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-46765433088160404252012-04-18T18:14:42.894-05:002012-04-18T18:14:42.894-05:00I recently discovered your blog via Twitter, am en...I recently discovered your blog via Twitter, am enjoying it greatly. But I wanted to say: hurrah for Face of Another! Prose is a little ponderous (at least in English trans) but good stuff nonetheless. Nice to see someone else taking it up.lsjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913998417784580419noreply@blogger.com
