The Golden Mean

The Golden Mean | Annabel Lyon

Aristotle and Alexander Sizzle
2 years ago

Annabel Lyon's The Golden Mean is an audacious novel about Aristotle's tutoring of the hot-blooded young warrior Alexander the Great in the years before he becomes king of Macedon at age twenty. Aristotle's quirky, scientific view of life unfolds in language that is startlingly contemporary, both in the sense of modern and of rooted in 4th century BC. Lyon's prose jumps with life, takes risks, defies gravity. We know we are in for a remarkable read when, early in the novel, we eavesdrop on Aris… read review

    Hi Mary: Thanks for accepting my friend request. I veiwed your YouTube trailer. Very interesting background to your book.

    I also have a YouTube trailer for my "Until the Deep Water Stills - An Internet-enhanced Novel". It's one of the stops on the cyber introduction I put together which I call "The Metaphor Tour". It can be accessed via the link below:

    But enough shameless self promotion! I hope 2010 is a great year for you! Michael

    hello,
    i am currently studying novel writing in my writer's craft class at school. we were assigned to ask some authors questions about their work. How do you begin your writing process? what is your starting off point for your novels? How do develop the characters or do you find they develop themselves as the novel progresses?

    "The story literally explodes onto the page ..." Bonnie Lumley has just written a terrific review of June Hutton's Underground over at Goodreads. As you'll know if you've been reading this page, June is one of my writing partners, and Underground is her debut novel. Check out Bonnie's review here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5523526.Underground

    I've been told that The Denman Island Readers and Writers Festival is a real treat, so I'm delighted I've been invited this year (July 17-19, 2009). "The 7th Annual Denman Island Readers and Writers Festival moves on from another extremely successful event in 2008 to an expanded event in 2009. Once again we will feature a line-up of wonderful writers with world-wide audiences and a weekend of non-stop literary delights." More at their website, http://www.denmanislandwritersfestival.com

    That is the book -- chapters shows an April 1 release date, which I imagine is wrong. If you do hear antyhing about the book or author, i would be interested -- any Canadian who is getting touted in the UK probably deserves interest. Thanks for the quick reply. Kevin

    Kevin Peterson says:

    Mary: Have you heard anything about a book titled The Rehearsal by Elizabeth Catton? It is published by University of Victoria but shows up as unavailable on this site-- a British blogging friend says it is getting a lot of pre-publication hype there (due for release in July). It hasn't hit my radar but I am interested. Kevin
