Is a follow-up to Edju in the works? We want more.

RW Spryszak Almost ready. Will start shopping around the next book before the year is out. But, yes, more coming, thanks.

In "Edju", the hero has a paradoxical relationship with God: he is a skeptic at times, and at other times he prays. Is this a consequence of his psychopathology or is it meant to present an equally paradoxical view?

But as a story Edju is a devout man who hopes by following the ceremonies and dictates of his church he will eventually see the face of god. Whether or not this is how the universe actually works is a matter of indifference to him. He believes. The powers believe in relics, Edju follows them. The powers set difficult tests before him, he seriously attempts to pass. When he runs into difficulties relative to these powers it is often the "church" acting beyond its own tenets, as it shifts its backing to which ever faction seems to be on the rise regardless of that faction's philosophy. Not a strictly religious commentary, I tried to show what happens when we follow a hero or idol to the detriment of common sense. But if you got something else, it's just as valid.(less)

"The Production of Space"

The Production of Space by Henri Lefebvre

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Even with a thick dictionary and a grounding in philosophy over the last thousand years this book is largely unreadable. Lefebvre wrote this before science decided that "space" can exist without anything in it, and is a structure in and of itself without the need for matter to justify it. Therefore his opening proposition about th Read more of this blog post »
