Chinggis Khan goes S&S: our Mongol Double
A Mongol Double? Two novellas, where both feature fantasy-Chinggis Khan, at the frontier between the steppe and China? – that contested frontier, that freight of history, that rich and wild inspiration for story?
Brackenbury Books presents Double-Edged Sword & Sorcery. One book, back to back novellas: Walls of Shira Yulun by Dariel R.A. Quiogue, Waste Flowers by Bryn Hammond.

Bryn Hammond
is 22% done with Swords Against Darkness: Nice ToC on this recommended sword & sorcery primer.
I skipped the first four stories as familiar with them. Choices fine except I am of the fixed view that 'Liane the Wayfarer' does not attract one to Vance. I'd never have read on. Onto Leigh Brackett. All right, she has a feel for words that wins me immediately. Also her style is SO Arthurian, this sometimes feels like phrases straight from Malory, set on Mars. |

of
Hieroglyph: Stories and Visions for a Better Future:
"A great follow-up to Neal Stephenson's speech from a few years back (http://tinyurl.com/mdupwq6), I highly recommend this strong step towards breathing some life back into the genre of science fiction. There are a couple of stories which don't feel l"

At my abuses, reckon up their own;

“I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!”
― The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“They accuse me--Me--the present writer of
The present poem--of--I know not what,--
A tendency to under-rate and scoff
At human power and virtue, and all that;
And this they say in language rather rough.
Good God! I wonder what they would be at!
I say no more than has been said in Dante's
Verse, and by Solomon and by Cervantes;
By Swift, by Machiavel, by Rochefoucault;
By Fenelon, by Luther and by Plato;
By Tillotson, and Wesley, and Rousseau,
Who knew this life was not worth a potato.
'Tis not their fault, nor mine, if this be so--
For my part, I pretend not to be Cato,
Nor even Diogenes.--We live and die,
But which is best, you know no more than I.”
― Don Juan
