I read this novella without knowing that it was directly inspired by HP Lovecraft “The Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath”, and although I didn’t find the plot too engaging, I enjoyed the book mainly because of the nice prose and the detailed and interesting world-building, although now I’m wondering how much of this world-building was already in Lovecraft’s work. In any case, a pleasant short read engaging enough as to have stirred up my interest in Lovecraft’s Dream Cycle. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Kij Johnson's haunting novella The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is both a commentary on a classic H.P. Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a woman's life. Vellitt's quest to find a former student who may be the only person who can save her community takes her through a world governed by a seemingly arbitrary dream logic in which she occasionally glimpses an underlying but mysterious order, a world ruled by capricious gods and populated by the creatures of dreams and nightmares. Those familiar with Lovecraft's work will travel through a fantasy landscape infused with Lovecraftian images viewed from another perspective, but even readers unfamiliar with his work will be enthralled by Vellitt's quest. A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
