So someone came by my autograph table and paged through The Labyrinth. Quoth he:
“…I don’t really like it. It’s too much like Jeff Vandermeer, or Dhalgren.”
Um. Thank you? Kthxbye?
Also, am stylistically nothing like either of those, but will take it as a compliment. I think it means “too many of those word-things.”
Right-o…
I agree, take it as a compliment.
Too much like Dhalgren? That’s a high compliment indeed! Dhalgren kicked ass.
That’s the way to take it, yes.
