"Every indifference to prejudice is suicide because, if I don’t fight all bigotry, bigotry itself will be strengthened and, sooner or later, it will return on me." -Bayard Rustin

The Angel of the Crows

This is a modified Sherlock Holmes wingfic. Nowhere else have I heard the word “mantled” so often.

Now, with that understanding… The Angel of the Crows retells a number of Sherlock Holmes stories, interspersed with the investigation into the Jack the Ripper killings. It’s told from the perspective of Dr. J. H. Doyle who has returned to England after being wounded in Afghanistan. I’m not familiar enough with the original Holmes stories to know how similar Addison’s retellings are. Crow, our angelic detective, cannot leave London, which changes how a few of the stories go.

There are angels, demons, vampires, werewolves, hell-hounds. It makes for a very interesting setting: Industrial Revolution Urban Fantasy. I really liked how Addison wrote the otherworldly beings; they each have their own unique cultures. I almost wish that the book had been more about the otherworldly creatures though. I kept expecting Crow would come close to Falling, given how often it was brought up.

I liked Doyle and Crow. They looked at each other and went “you’re the only person who can stand me” and I appreciate that.

Overall, I enjoyed it! If you’re in the mood for a unique Sherlock Holmes retelling, check it out.

I'm only 20 pages in but what a delightful book already. I can already feel myself itching to pick up the Goblin Emperor again.

In her utterly superb writing, Joanna Russ discusses all the techniques that have been used to suppress women authors, keep them from the canon, and dismiss their work—from lauding their one exceptional work as separate, unusual, to isolating them from their fellow authors and community, to labeling their choice of topics as immodest or confessional or particular—and much more. How to Suppress Women's Writing is a must-read, superb and now covered in my annotations, highlights, and underlines.

She emphasizes that the solution is not bringing women one by one into an already set canon but by allowing for multiple "centers," multiple ways of writing and of great literature. She also does a good job in an afterword of highlighting her own privilege and describing how her categories can be applied to many different marginalized groups.

(Note: I thought Jessica Crispin's forward was so awful (she does the same thing to women writers that Russ literally describes in this book, describes Russ as an exception who wrote unlike other ’80s/’90s icons, then claiming she's been left out of a literary canon of those women SFF authors, which she has not) that I carefully removed it from my volume of the book.)

Hi! If you're not comfortable posting this no worries, but there's a petition to get collective bargaining rights for Denver librarians and other city workers on our next ballot. Anyone who's registered to vote in Denver can sign this petition- you can find volunteers around libraries, local parks, festivals, etc. and sign with them.

If you can spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated!
