Nigmaetcetera posted:I started reading Imajica. I’m two chapters in and there’s a shitload of footnotes that are utterly loving bizarre, so I have a feeling it’s going to go loving nuts asap. Atopian posted:Imajica is... quite a thing. Oh I'm so glad someone else has read this. Its such an oddity, sort of early take on urban fantasy plus combined with some weird sex stuff (I know they go hand in hand now but this seems like an early example?). Then portals into a non traditional fantasy world. Heavy on the FEMALE SPIRIT VS MALE SPIRIT stuff but with what is sort of a intersex character to mediate it. Also a female character who always makes the wrong decision at any possible moment, even when it directly contradicts her earlier actions and views.

Yeah I think he thinks that if he has the intersex character say to the male protag who is literally the second coming of Jesus things like “you are right, bitches be crazy” then it’s an insightful reflection on the duality of gender instead of just the author being sexist.

In retrospect though the heavy handed Christian allegory produced better books than horny people copying Tolkien.
