Metropolitan
Phrase of the day: Arrow's Paradox
Who is Walter Jon Williams and where has he been all my life? He tosses off worlds like they were sentence fragments, and then he writes an entire novel in the present tense. The man has style. I couldn’t put Metropolitan down. In a novel full of good things, my favorite thing was the final pages. The pacing was amazing, the little cuts, Aiah’s pronouncement that if she knew Constantine she’d be there with him, everything was perfect. And it seems from his web page (http://www.walterjonwilliams.net/) there’s a sequel. I thought I was getting too old and jaded to find new favorites.
