Songs of innocence and experience
"Moonwise is innocence to Cloud & Ashes’ experience."
May I plume myself a little? In the service of a fine and quiet critic of fantasy?
Matthew David Surridge, who wrote a lovely meditation on Cloud & Ashes, has just published one on Moonwise—and in such company! You can find Only Once Imagined, his latest collection of essays (only $3 Canadian!) here. There are essays on Alan Garner, Robertson Davies, M. John Harrison, Leonora Carrington, Patricia McKillip, Katherine Blake (Dorothy Heydt), Nalo Hopkinson, Mary Gentle, among others: all writers of otherwheres.
His earlier book, Reading Strange Matters, which reprints the Cloud & Ashes piece, may be found here.
Sadly, Mr. Surridge is best known for his excellent, principled refusal to be press-ganged by the Puppies. He deserves to be better read. His work is a pleasure.
