One of the most severe of academic critics admits that in all his works, and in every page of his works, Flaubert may be considered a model of style. His private letters show that he was not one of those to whom easy and correct language is naturally given he gained his extraordinary perfection with the unceasing sweat of his brow. It cannot be said that his incessant labors were not rewarded. He worked in sullen solitude, sometimes occupying a week in the completion of one page, never satisfied with what he had composed, violently tormenting his brain for the best turn of a phrase, the most absolutely final adjective. He was born in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, in the Haute-Normandie Region of France.įlaubert's curious modes of composition favored and were emphasized by these peculiarities. Gustave Flaubert is counted among the greatest Western novelists.

Miles is off in college, my youngest are in the third grade, and watching all of them grow is always a source of joy. I'd also like to thank my children-Miles, Ryan, Landon, Lexie, and Savannah. I love you and wish there were something I could have done to lessen the loss you feel. As always, the list begins with my wife, Cathy, who not only has to put up with the creative moodiness that sometimes plagues me as a writer, but has lived through a very challenging year, one in which she lost both her parents. I miss you both already.Īt the completion of every novel, I always find myself reflecting on those people who've helped me along the way. In loving memory of Paul and Adrienne Cote.

Trials of the Earth was published in 1992 by University Press of Mississippi. The new and the shiny books are what are often pushed by publishers and on social media, but there are so many hidden gems that were written ten, twenty, and even fifty years ago.

Why did you choose Charles Dickens as a subject of study, and why focus on the final five years of his life, after he had finished his major work as a writer?ĭan Simmons: I've had an aversion to Dickens for a number of years. Simmons describes Dickens' bizarre obsessions (violence and hypnotism) and warns that his narrator should not be trusted. His newest book, Drood, explores the final dark years of Charles Dickens and the untold story of Dickens' unfinished work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Although best known for his two science fiction series, the Hyperion Cantos and Ilium/ Olympos, which both pay homage to literary classics ( The Canterbury Tales and The Iliad, respectively), he has also dabbled in crime fiction ( Hardcase) and historical fiction ( The Terror). His works defy genre, often mixing elements of fantasy, science fiction, horror, suspense, and history.

However, despite the flaws, I would have still considered myself a fan of The Dresden Files … until I read Battle Ground. On the other hand, the series has a number of issues including the consistently poor treatment of female characters, the inconsistent quality of the books, and the fact that although Butcher does a great job combining all of the lore of the world, there often doesn’t feel like there is a lot of substance that he is adding.
