anilEhilated posted:Speaking of fantasy trying to be literature, anyone willing to patiently explain why I should stop liking Viriconium? You shouldn’t stop liking anything you like because it’s you and you do your own thing. Especially Viriconium, which is a good work of fantasy. However, I do suggest that all genre readers step outside their comfort zone and read some non-genre stuff because I did that and it was a big change for the better for me.

I was given a book of Greek myths retold by Nathaniel Hawthorne as a child and I used to love it. I must’ve read it at least a dozen times. Wonder how it would hold up today

Someone once posted a fragment about a couple boarding a plane in a modern airport that was written in the style that most genre authors use for “world building” and it was hilarious. The way it went into details of how the baggage moving mechanism worked or the minutiae of the ticket reservation system really highlighted how useless all the countless passages written about courtly dating rituals of Deneb VII or the amazing alien game that is actually chess are. Not that we needed the parody to get the point, but I would gladly read it again if someone has saved it and can repost it.

Can you imagine that, a loving shallow lake hundreds of miles wide, supporting a diverse ecosystem, set in a magical world. How wonderful it would be. However, “glasslike” and “transparent” is all the space that Sanderson is prepared to waste on describing the lake. How does he pad his thousands of pages then?
