Lumbermouth posted:New episode on Thomas Harris’s Hannibal, which needed a much more laid back plot summary song to cover 600(?) pages: https://www.idontevenownatelevision.com/2021/11/02/169-hannibal/ Regrettably I read that book. It was terrible.

Dr Christmas posted:I’m listening to the episode now. They say they aren’t too familiar with Hannibal Lecter stuff, and suggest that it was written as a middle finger. I don't think that was the case. There was almost a decade between the two books, though I'll admit I know nothing about the writing industry. Enjoyed the episode but they barely scratched the surface of just how detestable absolutely everything about this book was. I read it 20 years ago but can still think of ways in which every single character just gave me an ugly feeling that has not faded.

Heh. Via Wikipedia:posted:Martin Amis was extremely critical of the book (having been impressed by Harris' earlier Lecter novels) and wrote that "Harris has become a serial murderer of English sentences, and Hannibal is a necropolis of prose."
