“Rea, whatever can you mean?” Nothing insulting, mind you—just that Paarfi is an academic by background, and rather opinionated. You perceive, therefore, the point I have the honor of attempting, in my own poor fashion, to make.

Glad to hear that Sethra Lavode is good – looking forward to it. Rea, whatever can you mean? That academics are wordy? Pedantic? Obsessed with irrelevant details? Faith, it’s nearly so.

Paarfi of Roundwood has had a blog for years. And it’ll go live just as soon as he finally finishes the first entry.

“its author, editor, and the author of its afterword are all bloggers.” Paarfi of Roundwood has a blog? I didn’t know that, although he might fit in here at Crooked Timber . . .

The Lord of Castle Black may well be some kind of climax plant of blogdom among novels, given that its author, editor, and the author of its afterword are all bloggers.

Ha! Another uncancelable implicature, just like Johnny Rotten saying, “We mean it, man.” (I’ve blogged and written a short paper on the phenomenon.)

The sequel, Sethra Lavode, is apparently shipping. And it’s good, too (read an advance copy).
