Notă biografică
Tim Powers won the World Fantasy Award twice for his critically acclaimed novels Last Call and Declare. Declare also received the International Horror Guild Award. His novel On Stranger Tides inspired the Monkey Island video game series and was sold to Disney for the movie franchise installment Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. His book The Anubis Gates won the Philip K. Dick Award and is considered a modern science fiction classic and a progenitor of the steampunk genre. Powers won the Dick Award again for straight science fiction post-apocalypse novel Dinner at Deviant’s Palace. Many of his novels, such as Last Call and Alternate Routes, are so-called "secret histories," which use real historical events in which supernatural and metaphysical elements influence the the story in weird and compelling manners. Powers grew up in Southern California and studied English at Cal State Fullerton, where he met frequent collaborators James Blaylock and K.W. Jeter, as well as renowned science fiction author Philip K. Dick, who became a close friend and mentor. Powers is a practicing Catholic who claims "Stories are more effective, and more truly represent the writer’s actual convictions, when they manifest themselves without the writer's conscious assistance. I concern myself with my plots, but I let my subconscious worry about my themes." Powers still resides in Southern California with his wife, Serena.
Recenzii
Combines the Brontës, a mysterious cult and werewolves... run, don't walk, to your bookstore for this decadent Gothic bonbon.
A joltingly good read...Powers brilliantly weaves through the hallowed family history a tale of ancient Irish curses, consumptive ghosts, fairylands and a werewolf cult that is blighting the North Country...gruesome, gripping stuff
A masterly, compelling, and moving tale that places Tim Powers among the greatest fantasy writers of his or any generation. Countless novels have involved the Brontë family, but none would so surely please and enchant them as this one. My Brother's Keeper is a pure delight.
My Brother's Keeper is an eerie period piece perfectly well-suited to darkening October nights.
The Brontës - especially Emily and her dissolute brother Branwell - come to life on the page, historical details effectively turned to the service of fantasy, making for an exciting and highly entertaining tale
The world of the Brontes and the supernatural feel like natural bedfellows the way that Powers writes them. has the feel of a good Sherlock Holmes tale
Powers has form for this sort of historical revisionism. It's clever, as is Powers' original pagan twin-god lore, and the ghostly imagery he superimposes over the Yorkshire moors is properly shiver-inducing
A tense novel that delivers all of the things you'd expect from a gothic horror... an excellent modern take on a centuries-old genre
Has all the gonzo action and excitement as well as the keen eye to historical detail that we've come to expect from Powers at his best, and is a smart and engaging love letter to these pioneers of the gothic form
