Virtue rewarded

[jhetley]

Yes, I know that there are cynics in the audience who will question how that title can relate to this author....

But persistence (or pure bloody-minded obstinacy) led me to Mr. Paperback out at the Airport Mall, where the management has the common civility to still shelve the April issue of FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION ("Display until March 28" over the bar-code on the cover). Thus I have a print issue of that lovely, lovely de Lint review for the literary archives. My heirs and assigns will, no doubt, treasure it for generations as I treasure the reviews of my grandmother's performance as Katisha in THE MIKADO.

Didn't mean to be confusing. That issue of F&SF includes a _loverly_ review of WINTER OAK by Charles de Lint, as mentioned in previous LJ entries. I'd tried to buy a copy elsewhere and found the May issue already on the store shelf. The review is also online:

(Gotta keep pounding on that old self-promotional drum, you understand.)

Makes sense to me that a creator of virtual worlds would find virtue rewarded.
