Brilliant sparkling prose, a Borges reflection (pun intended) mashed up with the Nights and hermetic thought, and myth, and I don't-know-what-else.

Looking forward greatly to the second part (though I cheated and already read it in your wonderful book).

Good gods. I love the burbling stream of syllables. So satisfying and dense. Chewy.

How in the world did you get your inspiration for such brilliant prose?:)
