a blog about a novel about Aristotle's daughter ~ by Annabel Lyon
I'm so pleased to be taking part in the Northwords Writers Festival, June 3-6, 2010 in Yellowknife, NWT, alongside Sharon Butala, Ivan E. Coyote, Cathleen With, Richard Van Camp, and others. To see the program, please click here.
An exhilarating book, both brilliant and profound. Annabel Lyon’s spare, fluid, utterly convincing prose pulls us headlong into Aristotle’s original mind. Only Lyon’s great-hearted intelligence could have imagined and achieved the brave ambition of this book. Vital, ferocious and true, The Golden Mean is an oracular vision of the past made present.
--Marina Endicott, author of Good to a Fault
In Lyon’s clever hands, more than two thousand years of difference are made to disappear and Aristotle feels as real and accessible as the man next door. With this powerful, readable act of the imagination, Annabel Lyon proves that she can go anywhere it pleases her to go.
