Little, Big; or, The Fairies’ Parliament by John Crowley

[IdleRich]

Anyone read the above? I saw someone on a podcast being interviewed and this guy (dunno who he was) went on and on about it as though it was something properly special. He seemed to have had his mind completely blown by the experience of reading it, sold it as a kinda indescribable mindbending psychedelic masterpiece. Made me curious enough to order it but all the copies online are kinda pricey so i thought maybe I'd get a second opinion before taking the plunge.

So, anyone read it? Is it as crazy as he made out? Also, is it good? What's it like ie are there other books you would compare to it?

John Crowley’s Little, Big is a large, complex book about, at its heart, the interaction between contemporary humanity and the kingdoms of Fairy, which exist, we discover, in a kind of topographical fold, or series of folds, within our regular world. Or vice versa.
