4.0 out of 5 stars Trumpets Indeed! (Or, why aren't more people reading this?, August 1, 2000
By 
Jim Sizer (Lancaster, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Still, Small Voice of Trumpets (Paperback)
Science fiction authors tackle many themes in their work, from politics to sociology, from history to the military. But how many write creatively of the interplay between people and their artistic culture? The only author I know to attempt this regularly is Lloyd Biggle. In Trumpets, a prequel to World Mendors, he asks the question: how would a deeply artistic people appear to those who are blind to this aspect of culture? And, given that the blind have a worthy goal in mind, how can they effect a cultural change in an artistic society without ruining it? I wouldn't say that Biggle explores this topic perfectly in Trumpets (for that, see either World Mendors or Monument), but this book is still a highly exciting, thought-provoking read. Better still, it is a book you will remember long after you close the last pages. And, in the end, what more can one ask of a volume?

3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful idea: nicely done, November 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Still, Small Voice of Trumpets (Paperback)
This book is one of those where, after a single reading, fifteen years ago, I can remember the main plot very clearly, because it is (basically) a single idea, beautifully strung out and delivered with zest by a real storytelling craftsman.

Actually it is a single idea about "a single idea", which is an amusing symmetry.

I wish I'd had this and more like it to read when I was younger.
