Parzival Parcel: Snowy Tower signed book & illustrated cards

A special limited edition offering: Snowy Tower paperback signed by both the author and artist, and a boxed set of nine greeting cards from the original illustrations for Snowy Tower by Cara Roxanne.

Snowy Tower

In Snowy Tower Shaw gives a highly original telling of the grail epic Parzival. Dr Shaw claims the story as a great trickster tale of medieval Europe, offering a commentary that ranges from climate change to the notion of soul, erotic consciousness, what he calls “the hallucination of empire”, and a revisioning of the speech of the ancient bards.

A daring work, Snowy Tower is the second in Shaw’s the Mythteller trilogy. It offers a connection to “the genius of the margins”; that the big questions of today will not be met by big answers but by a myriad of mythic associations. After the eclecticism of A Branch from the Lightning Tree, Snowy Tower is deepened by one central narrative.
