The fourth novel–and much-anticipated conclusion–of Crowley’s astonishing and lauded Aegypt sequence, “Endless Things” is a dense, lyrical meditation on history, alchemy, and memory.

John Crowley was born in the apporopriately liminal town of Presque Isle, Maine, in 1942, his father then an officer in the US Army Air Corps. He grew up in Vermont, northeastern Kentucky and (for the longest stretch) Indiana, where he went to high school and college. He moved to New York City after college to make movies.
