Reviews
"Sword and sorcery with Shakepearian panache." -- World Magazine "More than the sum of its parts." --Locus "The humor, inventiveness and suspense are top-notch, and the concept is as sly as Lewis Carroll's Cheshire." -- Asheville Citizen-Times "Chappell has a deft touch for comedy and for capers, and his witty, elegant prose shows a poet's deep love for words." -- Publishers Weekly, For Fred Chappell's fiction "An array of flavorful tales . . . sometimes boisterous, sometimes lyrical, sometimes Gothically romantic." - The New York Times Book Review "These are marvelous renditions - sometimes exuberant, sometimes meditative, arcane or antic . . . as circular as Borges, as richly symbolic as Kafka, and as zany as Woody Allen." - Kirkus Reviews "Haunting . . . rich, lyrical, and frequently elegiac . . . Fred Chappell has become one of our indispensable contemporary writers." - The Atlanta Journal Constitution

Synopsis
Fred Chappell's A Shadow All of Light , a stylish, episodic fantasy novel, follows the exploits of Falco, a young man from the country, who arrives in the port city of Tardocco with the ambition of becoming an apprentice to a master shadow thief. Maestro Astolfo, whose mysterious powers of observation would rival those of Sherlock Holmes, sees Falco's potential and puts him through a grueling series of physical lessons and intellectual tests. Falco's adventures coalesce into one overarching story of con men, monsters, ingenious detection, cats, and pirates. A wry humor leavens this fantastical concoction, and the style is as rich and textured as one would hope for from Chappell, a distinguished poet as well as a World Fantasy Award-winning fantasy writer.
