    <![CDATA[In its recent review of the fourth (and final) <em>Ægypt</em> novel, <em>Bookforum</em> said: &quot;<em>We may one day look on Ægypt's publishing history with the same head-scratching curiosity with which we now regard Melville's tragic struggles and André Gide's decision to turn down 'Swann's Way'</em>.&quot; As those words were being typed, Overlook was well into the process of reclaiming the magnificent tetralogy, and with the publication of <em>The Solitudes</em>, readers re-entered the fantastic world that enthralled reviewers and was enshrined in Harold Bloom's Western Canon. <p>In <em>Love &amp; Sleep</em>, the second volume of the series, the professor Pierce Moffett finds himself at a great turning point in the history of the world. As a child, Pierce was no stranger to magic, but those revelations faded with time. Now Pierce's search for a secret history of the world--one in which magic works and angels speak to humankind--has begun again. <em>Love &amp; Sleep</em> is a modern masterpiece, both extraordinary and literary. <p><em>Love &amp; Sleep</em> will be followed in Summer 2008 by the third volume in the Ægypt cycle, <em>Dæmonomania</em>, and in Fall 2008 by the paperback release of book four, <em>Endless Things</em>.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I am really going to have to reserve judgment and a full review until I have read the entire series. Love and Sleep is the second in the Aegypt cycle. I found this book more solid and coherent in structure and character than the first (The Solitudes); and although parts of it were kind of a slog, es...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63541693">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In its recent review of the fourth (and final) <em>Ægypt</em> novel, <em>Bookforum</em> said: &quot;<em>We may one day look on Ægypt's publishing history with the same head-scratching curiosity with which we now regard Melville's tragic struggles and André Gide's decision to turn down 'Swann's Way'</em>.&quot; As those words were being typed, Overlook was well into the process of reclaiming the magnificent tetralogy, and with the publication of <em>The Solitudes</em>, readers re-entered the fantastic world that enthralled reviewers and was enshrined in Harold Bloom's Western Canon. <p>In <em>Love &amp; Sleep</em>, the second volume of the series, the professor Pierce Moffett finds himself at a great turning point in the history of the world. As a child, Pierce was no stranger to magic, but those revelations faded with time. Now Pierce's search for a secret history of the world--one in which magic works and angels speak to humankind--has begun again. <em>Love &amp; Sleep</em> is a modern masterpiece, both extraordinary and literary. <p><em>Love &amp; Sleep</em> will be followed in Summer 2008 by the third volume in the Ægypt cycle, <em>Dæmonomania</em>, and in Fall 2008 by the paperback release of book four, <em>Endless Things</em>.</p></p>]]>

I will write a real review someday (perhaps when I finish the series) but for now I don't really have words just warm feelings! Amazing…]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In its recent review of the fourth (and final) Ægypt novel, <em>Bookforum</em> said: &quot;We may one day look on Ægypt's publishing history with the same head-scratching curiosity with which we now regard Melville's tragic struggles and André Gide's decision to turn down <em>Swann's Way</em>.&quot; As those words were being typed, Overlook was well into the process of reclaiming the magnificent tetralogy, and with the publication of <em>The Solitudes</em>, readers re-entered the fantastic world that enthralled reviewers and was enshrined in Harold Bloom's Western Canon. <p>In <em>Love &amp; Sleep</em>, the second volume of the series, the professor Pierce Moffett finds himself at a great turning point in the history of the world. As a child, Pierce was no stranger to magic, but those revelations faded with time. Now Pierce's search for a secret history of the world--one in which magic works and angels speak to humankind--has begun again. <em>Love &amp; Sleep</em> is a modern masterpiece, both extraordinary and literary. <p><em>Love &amp; Sleep</em> will be followed in Summer 2008 by the third volume in the Ægypt cycle, <em>Dæmonomania</em>, and in Fall 2008 by the paperback release of book four, <em>Endless Things</em>.</p></p>]]>
