Revisiting Classics: Ensign Flandry by Poul Anderson

This year, I've read a lot of sci-fi, especially classic space opera, because of a reading list I found on the Traveller RPG wiki. One of the series listed as a "Primary Inspiration" for Traveller was the Saga of Dominic Flandry by Poul Anderson, which begins with Ensign Flandry. Ensign Flandry tells the tale of Dominic Flandry, a recent graduate of the Terran Empire's naval academy serving an assignment on what's considered an unimportant backwater world, where the Merseian Supremacy has […]

Friends, if I didn't mail you the chapbook for #Christmas, you can have the #blog! A braided story on #fantasy, #classics, & entangling commercial & creative #writing: "Tying Three Loops: A Spell for the Modrybedd"

“WILLY: Figure it out. Work a lifetime to pay off a house. You finally own it, and there’s nobody to live in it.

LINDA: Well, dear, life is a casting off. It’s always that way.”

Death of A Salesman, 1949
The Arthur Miller Centennial, 1915-2015

“JIM, gets up: Chris would never know how to live with a thing like that. It takes a certain talent . . . for lying. You have it, and I do. But not him.”

“Keller is nearing sixty. A heavy man of solid mind and build, a business man these many years, but with the imprint of the machine-shop worker and boss still upon him. When he reads, when he speaks, when he listens, it is with the terrible concentration of the uneducated man for whom there is still wonder in many commonly known things, a man whose judgments must be dredged out of experience and a peasant-like common sense. A man among men."

Dante The Essential Commedia by Prue Shaw, 2025

Prue Shaw's absorbing, highly accessible introduction to the Commedia promises to be the essential edition for years to come.

The Commedia, Dante's epic story of one man's journey from the darkness and terror of hell to the revelation of divine light in heaven, is one of the greatest works of Western literature, but it can seem daunting to the English-speaking reader. College courses often cherry-pick the most arresting passages from Inferno and barely glance at the equally compelling Purgatorio and Paradiso.

In The Essential "Commedia," Prue Shaw, a renowned Dante scholar, expertly guides the reader on an enthralling tour through all three realms of the afterlife. Extensive passages of the work's greatest poetry—about one third of the whole—are astutely excerpted and presented in English translation alongside the original Italian. A linking commentary summarizes the elided sections.
