conversation hearts: September song
May. 6th, 2008 10:54 amThanks to amazon.com, John Crowley, Google, and the anthology The Hell With Love, I have found out what "conversation hearts" are (and never knew before that they had a name).
The aforementioned phrase is the title of a hitherto unmentioned forthcoming novella by John Crowley from Subterranean Press, which has nothing to do with either hell or love, as far as I know, though the only arm's-length announcement of its putative late-September 2008 existence appears to be on something called Hellnotes.
Which, if you ask me, is a hell of a note. These things just creep onto amazon.com without prior notice, except for those who follow every update of Subterranean Press's website. And since I am not particularly into science fiction or genre fiction in general, I don't.
There will apparently be 1000 trade-edition hardbound copies of Conversation Hearts and 250 signed leatherbound copies, which are not offered for sale on amazon.com so those of you who are not philosophically opposed to books bound in leather may wish to get your order in early. The indefatigable anselmo_b tells me that the $45 limited edition can be ordered via the press's book description page, but not from the press's online catalog.
Now I am going back to my art historical researches on how some of the most influential images of 20th century occultist culture may have been created de novo if not indeed ex nihilo in 1909 by a British-born Brooklyn, Kingston and London artist of Jamaican descent.
