A Fish Dinner In Memison - Zimiamvian Trilogy 02 - Plot & Excerpts
a train crashes in France . . . two strangers meet twice, thirty years apart, in an Italian cafe . . . events very much of our mundane world—yet queerly in resonance with the concerns of Zimiamvia, its King and the mysterious Lady Fiorinda. For, as philosophy, poetry, and wit enliven the royal dinner table, the Lady Fiorinda makes a casual request of the King—that he create a world for her amusement... a world containing such flawed and improbable places as France, Italy, and En' gland, which, imperfect though they are, may offer diversions not to be found in Zimiamvia . . . "Every woman Mr. Eddison writes of is a Queen. The idea, woman, in these pages is most quaint, most lively, most disturbing. She is delicious and aloof; greedy and treacherous, and imperturbable. She is all else that is high, or low . . ." —James Stephens Also by E.R.Eddison Published by Ballantine Books: THE WORM OUROBOROS THE ZIMIAMVIAN TRILOGY: mistress of mistresses a fish dinner in memison the mezentian gate A Fish Dinner in Memison E.R.
