>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 20 22:08:30 2021 No.19088539 >>19088410 To be fair the early 19th century post-Romantic Anglo fantasy is kino. They can do cozy well.

Here is the summary:
>An anarch is a real human bean
>Unlike dad who is just a NPC who believes in freedom (more like freeDUMB lol)
>Condor is acool and not afraid of nothing
>Also magic is real lol (but only when the Titans are awake)

Dont make fun of me or I will call you sardonic

yes, it's incredibly good but a text that really wanders
he was influenced by cioran during this time in his life, so I'd recommend looking at 'a short history of decay' and especially 'fall into time' and 'the new gods' beforehand
also it introduced me to klages, so mentally prepare for that
another strong recommendation (for before or after reading) is mircea eliade's 'myth of the eternal return' to really flush out martin's meta discussions about history

>published in 1977
by definition, yes
