anteus7 's review for:
Titus Groan
by Mervyn Peake
I'm realizing that decayed splendor and adherence to confusing, outmoded ritual must be one of my favored aesthetics. I love the spaces in between things in this novel (and in other places as well--Clarke's Piranesi, the Dark Souls games, and its descendants). Peake lavishes attention on the empty halls and rooms, the empty hills and forests, and the empty rituals surrounding this ancient and (from what I can see) doomed dynasty.
I'll take a bit of a break--Peake is dense--and then move on to Gormenghast.
