This is not a test

 

A website called Quora, of which I have not heard, and which I have not investigated, apparently poses hard questions for visitors -- or something -- anyway Google Alerts alerted me that this was posted there:


What is the plot of John Crowley's Aegypt tetralogy?
Imagine you have a friend who just finished the first book (The Solitudes), and liked it somewhat, but not enough to read the remaining volumes. However, your friend would like to know how the story continues. How would you describe the plot, characters, and ideas in the last three books of the series?

Here is where you can add your personal answer:

I'm not quite sure why someone who didn't like the thing well enough to read the whole of it would be amused by having the plot described; I'd suppose that his or her distaste would mount rapidly the more he or she was told.
