The Dragons of Babel (Tom Doherty Associates Book)

Customer Reviews

Fairytale of New York - By: Tristan Fitzgerald, 11 Feb 2008
Ignore the title & cover painting. This isn't some sub-Tolkien fantasy nonsense. It's a brilliant satire of life in the modern capitalist society & skewers many of the tired tropes of Swords & Sorcery along the way. The adventures of Will, the angry, confused half-human foundling, as he makes his way to a Manhattan-like Babel are like a fairy tale filtered through the brain of a crystal meth-addled New York Doll. At the same time as Swanwick is having fun playing with the clichés in fantasy, the story also has an emotional centre - in fact it made me cry at the end. This is the real deal - a genuinely great work of speculate fiction by a massively under-valued writer.
