I misremembered what I had read. Crowley says in his interview with Alice
Turner that it is 

  a book with very different ambitions (though it too deals with the powers
  and great angels). It's called _The Translator_ and will be out in about
  a year. It's a love story about poets and poetry, and it takes place at
  a Midwestern university at the time of the Cuban missle crisis. ...
  [It is] only marginally science fiction.
