| Re: What does Tim Powers write about?
The only Harrison I can think of just now is M John Harrison, so I suppose that's a fair enough conclusion. I've also seen Powers' work characterised as 'secret histories', where events in the real world are re-examined to show the behind-the-scenes story, usually one that includes a good dose of strangeness and the occult. Some of this is the case in Last Call, where Bugsy Siegel's life and death are woven into the fabric of the Fisher King legend and all its symbolism, but I've only really read two of his books and should stop holding forth like this! |
