Conan, Esq on X
🆒

Tehanu
Ursula K. Le Guin
Ursula Le Guin said this in Tehanu. I didn't feel like she proved her entire point though. Gait Analyst called the basic thesis "Women are Cthonic" and I more or less agree, but a lot of the posting about this is both naive and aspirational. https://t.co/0WP4iQsOtX https://t.co/XicO9fw1je

The Tomb of Thoutmôsis IV: 2
Howard Carter
@p0quess1ng I don’t, but basically I recommend 1) the Howard stories regardless of order 2) the Roy Thomas Marvel Conan runs, both Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan, regardless of order 3) nothing 4) some of the pastiche novels by Lin Carter, Karl Wagner, and Robert Jordan

Attack from Atlantis
Lester Del Rey
About halfway thru Attack From Atlantis (1953). Immediately getting the sense that Lester Del Rey’s august reputation depends on his importance to the scene as editor and publisher. This is tight and clean with no adornment or raw creativity. https://t.co/Hr83JwLglH

Mythago Wood
Robert Holdstock
Gene Wolfe appreciators should read Robert Holdstock. Mythago Wood especially is a sleeper gem of weird fantasy concerned with the nature of man and myth. Kept me up all night to read it in one tear, atypical for me these days but I couldn't stop. https://t.co/4PYpQ6V1Nz

The Pastor's Fire-side: A Novel: 3
Jane Porter
3) The Professor always makes it easy to include a babe in the story, because it's perfectly logical and sensible that some young unattached female relation would be interested or along with him as a caretaker. In Tarzan, Jane Porter is Dr. Porter's daughter. https://t.co/lI9GJfukq8
