Rezensionen

Wow, folks...this book. This book. This is the second novel I've read of his, with many short stories and a few essays in between. Fourth Mansions is the most like reading a really good Lafferty story, somehow maintaining the intensity and light-yet-deadly tone, and still remaining cohesive as a novel. Lafferty isn't for everyone--his style and dialog either charm & delight you or annoy & exhaust you--and while this may or may not be his best work, it is certainly the most HIS. I'm dazzled.… (mehr)

It's crazy! It's been around ten years since I read Thomas More's [b:Utopia|18414|Utopia|Thomas More|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348970806s/18414.jpg|2798280]. But of course I remember "A Man For All Seasons," both the movie and a community theater version. Well, this novel is a "false utopian" story full of what I am discovering is Lafferty's delightfully fruity style and strong opinions about human nature. The novel opens on a future world which is modeled after More's Utopia...and More is quickly retrieved through time to help lead/save/grok the troubled paradise.

I noted several similarities with [b:Watch the North Wind Rise|1215992|Watch the North Wind Rise|Robert Graves|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346702132s/1215992.jpg|1204453], but this is written in a style I found both more obscure and more fun.

The book also has human-form Cylons (called "Programmed People" here) who mix and reproduce with humans.

I love Lafferty so much. No one has a voice quite like his.

Los marineros de la antigüedad cantaban sus viejas salomas para mantener el ritmo de los remos y loar a sus héroes. ¿Qué salomas cantarán los futuros marineros del espacio? ¿Y quienes serán los héroes a los que irán dedicadas?
Cuando la ciencia domine el universo, ¿habrá héroes? ¿Habrá lugar para una nueva mitología? ¿Surgirán nuevos Ulises de las estrellas, dispuestos a enfrentarse a mil peligros y a correr las más fantásticas aventuras en los más inimaginables planetas?
