Lish At His Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Self-Imitation of Myself (Lish, Gordon) (Hardcover)
Why am I not surprised that in two years no one has written a review for this book. Ah well. Just one more sign that we can't handle the danger. The work Lish has done here is at his very, very best. Of course we can't realize this, because we live in a society where good writing has been diluted to Jello-water. Lines like "How come is it I am always telling stories and people are always construing my stories to be stories as in stories?" stand in flagrant violation of everything we have come to expect in a sentence, and thank Christ that they do, because they are the only reason we are still speaking English instead of Newspeak. Lish is a blutwurst-eating angel, and we should be giving him our utmost attention, instead of grinding him underfoot like we have.
