As Harun lay dying here on Kentauron Mikron, all untimely still in his golden youth, he whispered a word to me that he would use if he were born again. It is the meaningless but numerologically magic word "Bangdad." It has since become the name of one of those mirage cities, one of those cloud cities, that travelers sometimes report seeing. I have learned today that its meaning in Old Kentauron is "The Last City Built by Magic."

Top-Notch Lafferty,
By
This review is from: Sinbad: The Thirteenth Voyage (Hardcover)
This may not be the best of Lafferty's novels (that honor would probably fall to OKLA HANNALI or THE FALL OF ROME) but it's high-quality stuff, real magic. Discover the distinguishing marks of the one, real, Sindbad the Sailor, Master-Spy; find out why Scheherazade is so fond of a particular blue bottle; discover the two kinds of solution to all mathematical problems, and more... There's enough adventure and sheer fun in this one to make it a decent introduction to Lafferty, but the deeper method to the madness is still there to be found.
