Science Fiction

Story and Narrative. Film & TV. John Crowley Little and Big - The List. This is the reading list I have compiled with the help of all of you. Now that I am just about to press PASTE and stick it in I remember that there was an animadversion -- I guess -- to Chatwin's Songlines with a knowledgable alternative, which I will use. Italics have not survived the paste. I've excluded all fiction, and not used books I thought were too hard or were off the specific topic of Cultures We Really Evolved that are Stranger Than Any You can Think of.

You will notice with what art I have, in my descriptions, implied but not averred that I have read all these. Something you pick up in academic circles. Thanks again to all. The Night Battles, Carlo Ginzburg. The Art of Memory, Frances Yates. Mad Travellers, Ian Hacking. Sons of Sinbad, Allan Villiers. Negara, Clifford Geertz. The Songlines, Bruce Chatwin. Women, Fire and Dangerous Things, George Lakoff. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, Charles McKay. The Serpent and the Rainbow, Wade Davis. Home Page.
