  John Crowley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Crowley (born December 1, 1942 in Presque Isle, Maine) is an American author of fantasy, science fiction and mainstream fiction.
Crowley’s short fiction is collected in three volumes: Novelty (containing the World Fantasy Award-winning novella Great Work of Time), Antiquities, and Novelties and Souvenirs, an omnibus volume containing all his short fiction through its publication in 2004.
Crowley's correspondence with literary critic Harold Bloom, and their mutual appreciation, led in 1993 to Crowley taking up a post at Yale University, where he began teaching courses in Utopian fiction, fiction writing, and screenplay writing.

 John Crowley Papers
John Crowley, son of Dr. Joseph and Patience Crowley, was born December 1, 1941, in Presque Isle, Maine.
Although Crowley's fiction is frequently categorized as science fiction and fantasy, Gerald Jonas more accurately places him among "writers who feel the need to reinterpret archetypical materials in light of modern experience." Crowley considers only his first three novels to be science fiction.
Crowley's name is most visible through his fiction, but he also has written more than 30 documentary films, primarily for the Public Broadcasting System.

 Science Fiction Weekly Interview
Crowley: That's an interesting idea, and it may be that the salvific role of Smith and Thea and Lee did evolve as you say—but in fact the idea was simpler at the beginning—I needed some way of the Byron text being discovered in the present, and also responded to from a contemporary point of view.
Crowley: It is a recounting of the days before what now count as "the '60s," the period that the upheavals of the decade would bring to an end, or seem to.
Crowley: Various difficulties having to do with the exigencies of the modern publishing world and the anomaly of what is in effect one very long novel in four parts have impeded the appearance of that volume.

Crowley's early novels sold modestly, but the 1981 release of his Sufi/fairy-tale masterpiece Little, Big earned him fans as diverse as Harold Bloom, Peter Straub, and Terence McKenna, more general acclaim, and steady sales.
Crowley, however, claims the novel's fantasy foil was more an artistic choice than a reflection of his own fantasias.
Crowley proposes the fictive thesis (reminiscent of Kuntz's paradigmatic shifts and Foucault's epistemological breaks) that gateways exist in time such that the world on one side of the gateway is utterly yet perhaps imperceptibly different than that found on the other side:

John Crowley is yet another Hume protégé, although neither as cautious nor as skilful as his late mentor at concealing his dissent from the faith of the Church.
Bishop Crowley added that any suggestion the celebration sought to challenge Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality was "totally without foundation." One should also point out that any suggestion that the celebration actually supported Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality was also totally without foundation.
Bishop Crowley then disappeared on a short trip to Amsterdam and left it to one of his spin doctors to tell the Catholic press that he had no idea that Filochowski and Pendergast were homosexual partners.

John Crowley, the son of Dr. Joseph B. Crowley and Patience (Lyon) Crowley was born December 1, 1942 in Presque Isle, Maine, where his father was stationed as a captain in the Army Air Corps.
Crowley first conceived of Little Big around this time, a novel that would be a family chronicle extending from the past into the future, with it all wound around the family's own private religion.
Crowley began a correspondence with Harold Bloom, and their mutual appreciation would lead in 1993 to Crowley taking up a post at Yale University where he still continues to teach courses in Utopian fiction, fiction writing and screenplay writing.

 Review | The Translator by John Crowley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Crowley's greatness was evident in his first novels, but they were marketed as genre science fiction and published in mass market paperback format.
Crowley tends to write novels of daunting narrative and epistemological complexity.

 "The Translator" by John Crowley - Salon
That's the question that emerges from what at first seems to be an intimate story of mismatched lovers in John Crowley's "The Translator." This sneakily momentous novel is set during a time when America's soul felt particularly invigorated and optimistic: the years of John F. Kennedy's presidency.
Crowley has a small but devoted readership for his unusual fiction, novels in which the ordinary segues almost imperceptibly into the ancient, where the complex, mystical medieval arts of alchemy and allegory bleed through into the world of subways, East Village neighborhoods and hippie enclaves in upstate New York.
She isn't either an androgynous personality in a woman's body or the projected object of her author's desire, as far too many female characters tend to be when written by men.

 Alibris: John Crowley
Crowley delivers a stunning act of literary impersonation: imagining the novel the haunted, enigmatic Romantic poet Lord Byron never penned but very well might have--a story of two women from different centuries bound together by love, loss, and a need to connect with the fathers who abandoned them.
One of the most famous books on the occult ever written, this is a record of Crowley's journey into strange regions of consciousness: his initiation into magic, his world-wide travels and mistresses, his experiments with sex and drugs, and the philosophy of his famous "Book of the Law".
As John Crowley demonstrates in The Invention of Comfort, changes in sensible technology owed a great deal to fashion-conscious elites discovering discomfort in surroundings they earlier had felt to be satisfactory.

Author John Crowley presents Ali's story as the missing novel written by George Gordon, Lord Byron in 1816, creating a scenario in which Byron's missing manuscript is sold to finance Byron's involvement in European movements promoting Liberty and Freedom.
Crowley maintains his fine sense of where and when to change the focus from Ali to Ada to Smith in order to keep the tension and interest high, creating intriguing plot lines which intersect and gradually reveal parallels in the lives of the characters.

 Recommended Books: John Crowley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
John Crowley is one of the best, if not the best, contemporary authors of fantasy.
The real meat of the book is Crowley's exploration of the idea that the world "once worked in a different way than it does now; it had a different history and a different future.
But Crowley's protagonist and alter ego, the historian Pierce Moffett, begins to suspect that it might be more than just a metaphor, that it might "actually literally really be so" that the world sometimes changes its nature—and that another change is due.
