![]() Goblin Market Locations Shops of the Market Two long aisles contain most merchants’ excuses for storefronts, businesses, and entertainments, with the most powerful claiming places along the chamber’s large center pillars. ![]() Several large chandeliers festooned with continual flames give the chamber a garish, flickering light that the vendors and regular patrons don’t seem to mind. The Goblin Market is considered neutral ground, both to the Ten Tribes of goblins in Undermountain, and the other creatures and factions that vie for survival in the deadly underworld.Ī long, vaulted gallery punctuated with enormous support columns, the Goblin Market is a hidden black market of the dark and sinister, the taboo and the forbidden. The threat of violence lingers unspoken with each transaction, but a large contingent of bugbears with heavy clubs keep the brawls to a minimum.Ī single, unspoken rule guides commerce in the market: Keep to your own business and you’ll live longer. The constant murmur of commerce is occasionally punctuated by arguments as flesh, drugs, stolen goods, and precious information is bought and sold. Goblins rub shoulders with gnomes, orcs, humans, and dark elves, and everything seems to move to the beat of haunting music that you hear everywhere. ![]() The Goblin Market is a bazaar of the bizarre among the Arcane Chambers, the second level of Undermountain. ![]()

It’s a decision that was perhaps birthed in the NDAs Wiener surely had to sign at the three technology companies where she worked. Instead, she describes them: Amazon becomes “an online superstore that had gotten its start in the nineties by selling books on the World Wide Web.” Facebook is “a social network everyone said they hated but no one could stop logging in to.” ![]() Brands, names of apps, titles of movies-Wiener tends to avoid proper nouns.

Elle deemed it “the French ‘Brokeback Mountain.’ ” The comparison maybe misses the forêt for the trees-the book was inspired by Marguerite Duras’s “ The Lover”-but Besson is flattered by it. ![]() An elegiac tale of first, hidden love between two teen-age boys who have no chance of a shared future, “Lie with Me” sold more than a hundred thousand copies in France, where it won several prizes and is being made into a movie. He said, simply, “I wanted to write a sadness.” ![]() ![]() The other day, he was sitting in a deserted café near the Pompidou, the site of the book’s most chastely climactic scene, drinking a menthe à l’eau. Is it a novel? (That’s what it says on the cover.) Is it autofiction? (The author, after all, is French.) Is it a memoir? (The narrator is a successful writer named Philippe and, like Besson, was born in the drab village of Barbezieux in 1967.) Is it just messing with us? (“Barbezieux doesn’t exist.”) Whatever “Lie with Me” is, it took Besson his whole life to write it, and, when he was done, he thought that he would never be able to write again. Owing principally, but not exclusively, to the stark dedication with which it begins and the crushing letter with which it ends, Philippe Besson’s eighteenth book, just published in the United States as “ Lie with Me,” will be received as a mystery of genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() Genres Nonfiction Memoir Spirituality Religion Faith Christian Essays.
