A thread about the excellent Ægypt books by American novelist John Crowley, which I read recently.

[Mild spoilers ahead]

#JohnCrowley #Aegypt

1/17 The hook of the series is:

What if the world was once not as it has since become, & worked differently from how it does now?

That is to say, what if magic was possible in the past but not anymore?

Or said differently: why is the world how it is, & not some other way?
