Majipoor Revisited

I read this book when it was first released and I was still a teenager. More than thirty years later it's still just as enjoyable , perhaps even more so. A clever way to give an insight into the history and political set up of Majipoor. bring on the next installment.

It's remarkable

This is a stunning book, in my view. It doesn't matter if you haven't read others in the series (I hadn't): it stands in its own right. Other reviewers seem to read it as "more information about Majipoor": I just read it as a book. The world-building is certainly masterful, but (as Lord Valentine says at the end) it's more about the geography of the mind. Minds of a better kind than ours, though: certainly there are injustices and anxieties on Majipoor, but the minds Silverberg imagines are mostly deeply reflective and ethical. It is, perhaps, an imagining of what we might be.
