A New Fantasy Author on My "To Read" List

Ignatius Insight has an interview with Tim Powers:

I've heard the name before but never come across any of his books. But his novels sound interesting and one comment of his made me suspect I might like the man:

I was on a panel once in which a woman said, "Dracula is
actually about the plight of 19th-century women," to which I replied, "No,
it’s
about a guy who lives forever by drinking other people’s blood – don’t
take my
word for it, check it out."


Our public library is still closed and its online catalogue is down, but I'll be checking for Powers as soon as I can.
