“Every novel has at least three stories. Of course, there’s story in its pages. But then there’s the story of its writing. And there’s also the story of its reaching, or not reaching, the bigger world of its readers.”
Ian R. MacLeod, The Summer Isles

“With their cross-cultural marriage and commitment to rational education, Mum and Dad had entered adult life imagining that they were part of what all society would eventually become”
Ian R. MacLeod, Song of Time
