Re: Quentin S. Crisp
 

I wondered the same thing. Quickly passing over thoughts of "Remember You're a One-Ball!" I fixed on this:

:eek: :)


Since I'm not a collector, I held off ordering until the lettered copies had all been sold. I could see that others were eager to get a lettered copy, and I was (to be honest) slightly weirded out by the prospect of receiving an authorshair bookmark. Unfortunately by ordering later I missed out on The Magical Universe. I received my hairless copy a couple weeks ago and, prompted by the comments here, quickly read "Sado-Ga-Shima." It is indeed one of QSC's best stories. In some ways I think it is the next (or a next) logical thematic step after "Troubled Joe" in the AGA,B! collection, even though it is a much different story and is certainly not a sequel in any way (I don't want to say anything misleading here). Some of us have lived in Sado-Ga-Shima for many years; some of us even prefer living there, all things considered.

This is a Kodagain song Quentin wrote the words to. I find them and the song very beautiful

Re: Quentin S. Crisp
 

Hello.

In December last year, I got an e-mail telling me that My Opera, where I kept a blog from the 22nd of March, 2004 to the 21st of January, 2013, will be closing down in March 2014. It is now March 2014!

By accident (I rarely look at my blog lately), I looked at my blog today and saw that the date of closure is March the 3rd.

So... I am in the process of attempting to import my blog, while it is still salvageable, to Vivaldi.net:

https://vivaldi.net/

As some may know, I disabled comments when I closed my blog down, but I have enabled them again for the time remaining (before it disappears with My Opera).

The blog imported to Vivaldi, I may disable comments on again, simply keeping the blog as an archive.

I am also considering starting a new blog, but am undecided.

Just thought I'd let people know. Thanks.

I actually have some minor publishing news. Since I am beginning to wonder if any new standalone work of mine will be published again, it does feel somewhat worthy of mention that a previously unpublished story of mine will be included in Postscripts #32/33. I actually wrote the story in... I would guess, about 20... 08, 09, 10? Probably more like 2008.

It's called 'Sea Angels'. It's quite short for me - around five or six thousand words.

I envisage it one day appearing in a collection for which I have the title The Magical Universe, and for which I have so far written the following stories:

The Magical Universe
Sea Angels
The Last Packet of Tea

And possibly one or two others that I can't remember at the moment.

YouTube

Love the commentary on that: "I guess that comes with being both gelatinous and translucent."

Anyway, I got an e-mail just now that reminded me of the fact that this story will actually be coming out.

Re: Quentin S. Crisp
 

There is a new Kodagain CD out. The lyrics are written by Quentin, my sister Loha and myself.

It is for sale. I put the info up at my blog:

Congratulations. I've never known a lyricist before.

Re: Quentin S. Crisp
 

It should be mentioned here that, in addition to the new Crisp heteronymous story advertised for the forthcoming Ex Occ Pessoa tome, there is a new, excellent Crisp story in the recently published Phantasm Japan (Haikasoru). The latter story is called "The Last Packet of Tea" (what a Crispian title!). It is a long short story or short novelette -- somewhere in that range.

Re: Quentin S. Crisp
 

Well, as I don't have a blog anymore, and I don't have a personal Facebook page (I co-administrate three pages), I don't really have a regular place to let people know about forthcoming releases.

However, as there are a few things on the horizon at the moment, I thought, or hoped, it would be acceptable to mention them here. I say 'on the horizon', but one of them, The Boy Who Played with Shadows, is already here:

http://www.i-m.mx/Thessarether1941/p...n-s-crisp.html

I have also had a novella, called Erith, accepted recently, and it seems that the production process has started for that. I don't know a release date, so should perhaps stay vague on this for the time being. The subtitle is, 'A Supernatural, Anglo-Saxon I-Novel'.

Snuggly Books should also be bringing out a novella of mine, called Blue on Blue (after the song), later this year.

There are also other miscellaneous bits of publishing news, but perhaps I should save them till later.

Thanks.

I hope The Boy Who Played with Shadows will be available from Zagava at some point.
