Gorgeous language, original fantasy, funny, wise, engrossing. A good place to start if you're unfortunate enough to have never read Crowley. Read this. Now.
Another masterpiece from Crowley. Leisurely mythmaker recounts the life and times of Dar Oakley, a crow who learns to talk to humans, journey's to the afterlife for his lost love, defeats violent death, crosses the sea like a tern, and survives the end of modernity. Quite beautiful prose.
