Little, Big

The first book of the year may be my favorite for the year. I was a little concerned going into it because I was a little mixed in my feelings toward Crowley's Ka and thought I might be getting the same style, this time for over 500 pages. Well, it was kind of the same style: amazing, sprawling prose with a complex, sprawling narrative, and only a little plot. Actually, lots of little plots that wove in and out of each other. But this book really blew me away. While the prose was overwhelming at times and the jumping back and forth in time often confusing, I found the experience to be exhilarating. This book won both the 1982 Mythopoeic and World Fantasy Awards and was nominated for slew of others, including the Hugo and Nebula.
