But, is two threads enough? Could I post another GRRM thread with a specific focus on linguistic analysis and hermeneutics? Or would it be gassed due to Superfluence? Thanks in advance.

I'd dispute the idea that books can be 'spoiled'. The notion of 'spoiling' i a relic of the pre-post-modern age when texts where assumed to have a single 'meaning' imparted by 'the' Author. The Book Barn needs to develop new paradigms informed by current theory. imo

An interesting reading, but in my opinion an incomplete one. The 'dynastic war' narrative of A Song of Ice and Fire is a fairly obvious metaphor for an extended discussion of 'gender' dynamics in antecedent and contemporary societies and the evolution of normative gender traits, with subsequent 'novels' in the series taking in some elements of queer and trans theory. However, we must be careful to not fall to the fallacy of ascribing primacy to the 'Author'-imposed 'theological' tyranny. This masterwork is instead best understood as a turgid and uninspired narrative about a gay world that doesn't even exist.
