The Book of Love

Full RTC (maybe) as soon as I can organize my thoughts about this unique 700 page fantasy novel. For now I want to celebrate the fact that, within those multitudinous pages, author Kelly Link, a freakin' MACARTHUR GENIUS GRANT winner, doesn't condescend, mock, or otherwise cast aspersions on romance novels. In fact, a main character's grandmother is a bestselling romance novel author, and Link occasionally ties romance novels into the plot in an intelligent, thoughtful way.

Kelly Link is my new hero, and those snooty literary types who look down their noses at my favorite genre can fuck all the way off.
