Love & Sleep, the second volume in John Crowley's acclaimed Ægypt cycle, is now available in a new paperback edition from The Overlook Press. Finally reissued after years out of print, and rewritten to be the novel that Crowley always intended, Love & Sleep is a modern masterpiece, both extraordinary and literary. Love & Sleep will be followed in Summer 2008 by the third volume in the Ægypt cycle, Dæmonomania, and in Fall 2008 by the paperback release of book four, Endless Things.
Michael Dirda considers the "four-work masterwork" of John Crowley in a lengthy feature article in The American Scholar. Dirda, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, notes: "With Little, Big, Crowley established himself as America’s greatest living writer of fantasy. Aegypt confirms that he is one of our finest living writers, period." The first volume in the Aegypt cycle, The Solitudes has just been published in a stand-alone trade paperback edition; Love and Sleep will follow in February. The third volume in the Ægypt cycle, Dæmonomania will be released in the summer, followed by the Fall 2008 release of book four, Endless Things.
