“Ka is a beautiful, often dreamlike late masterpiece … The novel expands upon ideas and themes Crowley has examined in nearly all his fiction; it feels at once valedictory and celebratory … Elegiacal and exhilarating, Ka is both consoling and unflinching in its examination of what it means to be human, in life and death. If, as Robert Graves wrote, ‘There is one story and one story only,’ we are very lucky that John Crowley is here to tell it to us.”
