May. 7th, 2005 07:05 pmVampires are usually her passion, but Anne Rice is getting biblical in her next book, due out in November from publisher Random House. "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt" will tell the story of Jesus' early years in his own words.
"I'm not a priest," Rice also writes in the letter. "I can't be one. I'll never be able to go to the altar of the Lord and say the words of consecration at Mass, `This is my body. This is my blood.' No, I can't work that magnificent Eucharistic miracle. But in humility, I have attempted something transformative which we writers dare to call a miracle in the imperfect human idiom we possess. It's to bring Him here in the form a story, and that story is Christ The Lord."
BWAHAHAHAHAHA. I think if she's going to be blasphemous, she should go all out and do it in diary form. "Dear Diary, today I found out my father is God. If Mom thinks I'm cleaning my room after this, she's out of hergoddamn fucking mind."

Frankly, maybe I'm too smut-driven but the 'action' is too detailed for me to care at all for psychological thinking! XD
I first read the trilogy by borrowing them at the library (I was O__o;; there are this kind of books here?! I want more!!), then found them in english on the n3t (well only the first two, unfortunately... fumbles around her email box...) and then bought them here in french (but I really wanted to read the third in english too! >.< I wanted to read 'full-fledged' authors' smut!!!)
The titles are:
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Beauty's Punishment
Beauty's Release

What manga is your icon from, BTW? The style reminds me of this one doujinshika...

Date: 2005-05-15 08:12 am (UTC)The Beauty is female and she gets her share of the action (het smut), but she's surrounded by princes from various countries who are slaves like her and *do* get a large portion of the action (gay pr0n!!)
As for my icon, it's the manga 'Café Kichijouji', from the chibi omake at the end of each volume ^^
Who were you thinking of? (I love the art style and I'm willing to know anyone with a similar art style ^^)
