Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Toronto Globe and Mail described Christopher as "North America's Garcia Marquez, Borges" and the Los Angeles Times noted that he was "One of our most inventive writers.To read [Christopher's] richly honed and sensuous work, which has so much tensile strength, is to visit other worlds and then return to our own, disturbed by time, but also refreshed and reawakened."[citation needed] The Washington Post, reviewing his Crossing the Equator: New & Selected Poems, reported that "Nicholas Christopher is a fabulist.His fiction often puts me in mind of Jorge Luis Borges and Italo Calvino, two time-travelers who are his great precursors. His poetry tends to build on the work of Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop and James Merrill. Like them, he has a taste for the exotic, the faraway, the displaced, the imaginary." Salon wrote: "if you were looking to write a crossover fantasy novel, one whose audience extended beyond sci-fi enthusiasts and aging Tolkienistas, you could hardly do better than to study A Trip to the Stars. With this zestful riff on an enduring genre, Nicholas Christopher should easily satisfy the admirers of his previous novel, "Veronica." He is also likely to gain new readers, including those who foray reluctantly into so-called imaginative literature. [-Wiki]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 27104
