John Cowper Powys's PORIUS Now Available in Bookstores

Releasing this week in bookstores across the country is a new,
unabridged and carefully restored edition of PORIUS, by the
great John Cowper Powys. Kirkus Reviews notes that
"readers of all things Tolkien will find this epic a pleasure,
for it is full of Tolkienesque characters and interludes and
plenty of good old-fashioned sword-and-sorcery stuff, all very
well told." Considered by Powys to be the "chief work of my
lifetime," PORIUS is a swirling, sweeping and challenging work
of genius, and might be appreciated by contemporary readers as
a masterpiece of magical realism. The new Overlook edition
checks in at 751 pages, with a Foreword by preeminent Powys
scholars Judith Bond and Morine Kridottir.
