"
For writers, this is a seminal read. Clavel does what I thought no writer should do and gets away with it. Omniscient POVs and long blocks of monologues posing as dialogues, followed by even longer stretches of inner monologues. But it works. Suspens

“things started getting better when the people of West Point slum starting singing "No one is coming to save us!" It was a turning point. It meant they understood that local leaders were their best hope for surival. The people were finally in charge of their own future.

With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.”
