Steven Brust: “A masterful storyteller of contagious glee and self-deprecating badassery” —Skyler White
Jhegaala
I really wanted to do Vlad as Nero Wolfe with Loiosh as Archie Goodwin, so I did. I’m fairly happy with it. And, as usual, I love the cover.

In Jhegaala you mention Tereza wearing a flaisl. The flaisl – does it or did it exist in real life somewhere? What is it based upon? Anything in real life or in fiction elsewhere? One enquiring mind wants to know.
I no longer remember the context, but someone typoed “flail” so we had to invent a definition.
Oh man I thought it was going to be some kind of cool Hungarian thingamajig.

I suspect it was a certain “SB” who made the typo: https://skzbrust.livejournal.com/47606.html
I just finished reading this one again. I remembered it being good the first time I read it, at publication.
It was better.
Also, there was a plot summary of what could easily become Chreotha somewhere in there.
Kragar: Caught that, did you? :-)
