The Book of Flying was the "Book of the Week" on the sci-fi radio show DeFlip Side (hosted by Destinies - The Voice of Science Fiction):
"The Book of Flying is best characterized as an adult fairy tale, and as such, it’s poignant and moving and (dare I say it?) enchanting. If you’re a fan of fanciful prose, and feel (as I do) that beautiful writing can be an end unto itself, then The Book of Flying is the book for you."
I absolutely agree with this review...
ReplyDeleteHi Keith! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your blog - I was telling a friend about the Book of Flying today! I read it when I was in high school and I think it would have to have been one of the books that was most influential upon my writing style - so very beautiful, and such a wonderful and apt review! So glad to hear that it made book of the week on radio so that your beautiful words can continue to touch hearts :)
