Tim Powers is always a reliable person to read, of course: and Last Call is undoubtedly the go-to book if you ever want to read about how Las Vegas, poker, the Tarot, Bugsy Siegel and the Fisher King are related. …And if you never realized that you wanted to read about all of that, well, today’s your lucky day.
And so, adieu to The Awesome.
Great book.

Speaking of novellas, have you checked out his recent releases? He’s put out a few novellas, and they’re very tightly written.
Sorry, I’m too busy at the moment being horrified that Powers has had a new book out for months and I ONLY NOW NOTICED THIS.
