"Although there's several obvious indicators that this is a self-published book (i.e., AI-generated artwork; lack of page numbers; and some iffy formatting), I would still have to recommend WOOFUS TAKES because it shows a lot of metrically masterful p"

Cried 3-4 times, laughed a bunch, felt many a thrill that powered me through. Again, I'm in awe of the versatility of this man, speaking of genre. This is great for folks that love manga and anime, Korean and Japanese culture alike. Full review forth ...more | |

Read this in 20 minutes after many recs from many folks over many years. It didn’t disappoint and showed how fundraising can be joyful and help the wealthy out of the spiritual poverty of loneliness. | |

Thanks to ALL who put today's launch of the paperback graphic novel in the Top 50 in Coffee and Top 200 in Mystery Graphic Novels. That's a weird blend, but that's our sweet spot and we're rocking it. Get the paperback now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1 ...more |

Pulp Fiction: Just finished - and a few thoughts | 673 | 241 | Aug 06, 2024 03:00AM |
“A good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.”
― Areopagitica
― Areopagitica
“Life in squats with my mother hadn't really prepared me for what to expect from the aristocracy. On balance, I'd have to say people were a lot better behaved in the squats.”
― The Ink Black Heart
― The Ink Black Heart
“Without a shadow of a doubt, the first fiction ever recounted was fantasy. Guys sitting around the campfire— Was it you who wrote the review? I thought I recognized it— Guys sitting around the campfire telling each other stories about the gods who made lightning, and stuff like that. They did not tell one another literary stories. They did not complain about difficulties of male menopause while being a junior lecturer on some midwestern college campus. Fantasy is without a shadow of a doubt the ur-literature, the spring from which all other literature has flown. Up to a few hundred years ago no one would have disagreed with this, because most stories were, in some sense, fantasy. Back in the middle ages, people wouldn’t have thought twice about bringing in Death as a character who would have a role to play in the story. Echoes of this can be seen in Pilgrim’s Progress, for example, which hark back to a much earlier type of storytelling. The epic of Gilgamesh is one of the earliest works of literature, and by the standard we would apply now— a big muscular guys with swords and certain godlike connections— That’s fantasy. The national literature of Finland, the Kalevala. Beowulf in England. I cannot pronounce Bahaghvad-Gita but the Indian one, you know what I mean. The national literature, the one that underpins everything else, is by the standards that we apply now, a work of fantasy.
Now I don’t know what you’d consider the national literature of America, but if the words Moby Dick are inching their way towards this conversation, whatever else it was, it was also a work of fantasy. Fantasy is kind of a plasma in which other things can be carried. I don’t think this is a ghetto. This is, fantasy is, almost a sea in which other genres swim. Now it may be that there has developed in the last couple of hundred years a subset of fantasy which merely uses a different icongraphy, and that is, if you like, the serious literature, the Booker Prize contender. Fantasy can be serious literature. Fantasy has often been serious literature. You have to fairly dense to think that Gulliver’s Travels is only a story about a guy having a real fun time among big people and little people and horses and stuff like that. What the book was about was something else. Fantasy can carry quite a serious burden, and so can humor. So what you’re saying is, strip away the trolls and the dwarves and things and put everyone into modern dress, get them to agonize a bit, mention Virginia Woolf a few times, and there! Hey! I’ve got a serious novel. But you don’t actually have to do that.”

“That’s what happens when you study men: you find mare’s nests. I happen to believe that you can’t study men; you can only get to know them, which is quite a different thing. Because you study them, you want to make the lower orders govern the country and listen to classical music, which is balderdash. You also want to take away from them everything which makes life worth living and not only from them but from everyone except a parcel of prigs and professors.”

My pleasure Richard! And thanks for that — probably should take that down for privacy purposes, but kind of you all the same.
