Praise for the Ægypt sequence:"With Little, Big, Crowley established himself as America’s greatest living writer of fantasy. Ægypt confirms that he is one of our finest living writers, period."—Michael Dirda"A dizzying experience, achieved with unerring security of technique."—The New York Times Book Review"A master of language, plot, and characterization."—Harold Bloom"The further in you go, the bigger it gets."—James Hynes"The writing here is intricate and thoughtful, allusive and ironic. . . .
