Tamburline Must Die

[yendi]

Okay, anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge Christopher Marlowe fan, and also a fan of books like John M. Ford's The Scholars of NIght, a nifty little spy novel centering on a lost Marlowe manuscript.

So, now there's a spy novel/murder mystery focusing on Marlowe? Why the hell didn't anyone tell me about this?

ETA: And speaking of John M. Ford, how did I fail to notice that there was a new collection of his work released last fall?

*sigh* One day I'll have a wishlist with fewer than 400 items. I swear.

I would have, but...um...I fell off a cliff and died. Yeah! That's it!

That excuse is getting old!

You were fated to randomly discover it?

:)

[yendi]

Stupid fate. I need advance notice of things like this!

[herongale]

Fate (*pulling out Sony Clie*): Mmm... yendi... time to fuck with him a bit with a little mind-blowing out-of-the-blue revelation. That should be entertaining...

(I am of the opinion that Fate is a closet sadist)

For lots of material on Marlowe and Shakespeare I recommend reading riba_rambles she's a big fan of both, does reviews of plays and books on them and is very knowledgable about what is out there in general.

Just what I need -- more LJ stuff to read. :-)

Have you read Melissa Scott's "The Armor of Light"? IIRC Kit Marlowe features in it.

[yendi]

Yup! I adore Scott. I've also read the Lisa Goldstein novel about Marlowe and Shakespeare, although my brain's too lazy to remember the title.
