Praise for Flint and Mirror:
"Crowley triumphs with this beautiful, subtle fantasy...Fans of
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell will be mesmerized."
-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[An] enthralling secret
history of the last great rebellion against the Tudor conquest of
Ireland...Crowley deftly handles the balance between history and
fiction without ever lowering the quality of his excellent
prose."
-- Booklist (starred review) Praise for John Crowley:
"Crowley is generous, obsessed, fascinating, gripping. Really, I
think Crowley is so good that he has left everybody else in the
dust."
-- Peter Straub "Like a magus, John Crowley shares his secrets
generously, allowing us to believe that his book is revealing the
true and glorious nature of the world and the reader's own place
within it."
-- Village Voice "[Crowley] transforms the lead of daily life into
seriously dazzling artistic gold."
-- Newsday
"Crowley writes so magnificently that only a handful of living
writers in English can equal him as a stylist, and most of them are
poets...Little, Big seems to me as miraculous as Shakespeare or
Lewis Carroll: it is as if the book had always been there, the way
Falstaff and Humpty Dumpty were there from the start, and
Shakespeare and Carroll found them."
-- Harold Bloom
