He penned many great and tales The City of the Singing Flame and sequel Beyond the Singing Flame are two of my favorite talked by him. Ive read many of his there stories and Ive never been disappointed by anything I've read by him. He was also a poet and a truly great one. He wrote one novel The Back Diamonds a strait old time adventure novel. He was teenager when he wrote it. I thought Ashton Smith was pulp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonebender Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I would define "literate" here as kind of naturalistic, kind of not. Very readable, not bore fests: Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Murakami The Whispering Swarm, Moorcock Peace, Wolfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo498 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 The Moers book is quite readable but it is literally fantasy about literature and reading. Vaguely similar (but totally different in specifics) to how The Name of Rose or The Neverending Story are books about books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
