Tanith Lee-Brilliant Joanna M. Bilof Tanith Lee has been my favorite author for well over twenty years. She never fails to enthrall me with her writing and her storytelling. I own quite a bit of her work, however I am still missing several pieces. Back in the day I never had trouble purchasing her works, over the last few years it's been difficult in obtaining Tanith's books. I don't understand why it is difficult to get British writers works here.As for Tanith, Amazon lately has been the only place when I can find her. I wish they had more available.She never fails to amaze me and keep me entertained.I am wait. "A Brilliant Collection" according to Amazon Customer. Tanith Lee's Disturbed by Her Song is a linked collection of stories by Tanith Lee, writing as and with Esther Garber and Judas Garbah. The introduction explains how this curious relationship works and provides an intriguing opening for the collection, laying the ground for the coming tricks and evasions when it comes to such matters as identity and time. The theme of love, and particularly erotic love, runs through the stories, love the light shining through the prism of youth and age - innocence, loss and regret - and love's ability to illuminate, inspire and shape, even w. "beautiful" according to R Piper. I've gone back and forth on Tanith Lee -- I found most of her older work fantastic, and then the Venus/Venice stories completely impenetrable. These stories, set in a nearly-here world, are among her most accessible. Lucidly constructed and beautifully written, recommended for both new fans and old.

Disturbed By Her Song collects the work of Esther Garber and her half-brother Judas Garbah, the mysterious family of writers that Tanith Lee has been channeling for the past few years. The themes of youth and age stream through these tales of homosexual love and desire. Possibly autobiographical, frequently erotic and darkly surreal, their fiction takes place in a variety of eras and places, from Egypt in the 1940s, to England in the grip of the Pre-Raphaelites, to gaslit Paris and to the shadowy landscapes carved by the mind and memory. These stories recall, at times, the work of Lawrence Durrell, Colette, and Angela Carter.
