I've always believed in the idea of a collective unconscious, and Quiddity is really that. I think what the third book will concern itself with is what the very origins of Quiddity, what the connection between humanity's origin and the origin of the conscience-the dream consciousness-that is there in the Sea of Quiddity, what that connection is. The character Harry D'Amour appears in the novel as a main character and some of the characters from the previous novel also make appearances.Īs Barker has yet to write the third book he has yet to confirm any concrete plot but has stated some of its basic themes. Synopsis The Great and Secret Show Įverville delves deeper into the mythology of the cosm (essentially, Earth) and the metacosm (another plane of existence containing the dream sea Quiddity). The series thus far has been compared to J. The trilogy has been cited as an example of Barker's use of magic as a motif to "comment upon the work of the creator of art" and Barker himself has used the term to describe transformative magic that is used as "windows through which to glimpse the miraculous". Of plans for the third book, Barker has stated that the book will be "a big book when it comes" and that he wants to write it with "as much feeling as possible".
The third book has yet to be written and there is currently no schedule for its release.
The first book, The Great and Secret Show, was first published in 1989 and was followed by the second book, Everville, in 1994. Books of the Art or The Art Trilogy The Great and Secret Showīooks of the Art or The Art Trilogy is an incomplete trilogy of novels by British writer Clive Barker, of which only the first two have been published.
