Yeah, it’s the only entry that really matters in such a discussion.

I clicked through this furiously to make sure it ended correctly. It did.

Now I understand that other picture

The same could be said of every literary adaptation ever made.

I think you could make a passable film or series “inspired by” the story and elements of New Sun but I stick by the notion that it is meant to read. What makes it a masterpiece is related to the written word itself. Just capturing the narrative visually defeats its amazing use of ambiguous language. You would have to…

Please no adaptation of The Book of the New Sun. It is meant to be read. For a single example of why, just seeing the Citadel versus reading Severian’s description would spoil an amazing “aha” moment. Hell, the whole story is an exercise in unreliable narration and subversion of reader expectations. Some of that could…

DENTAL PLAN

This pretty much nails it, except that although most of “Preludes & Nocturnes” is pretty rough and forgettable, there is also the introduction of Lucifer which I think is as iconic a moment of the series as there is.

Counterpoint:

Is she going to play half a dozen roles? Because that was the major thing that the original *Orphan Black* had going for it (especially when they would impersonate each other).

And the Book of the New Sun is quite simply a literary masterpiece. Le Guin referred to Wolfe as “our Melville” and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration.

That’s a great collection. I’d never heard of Beaumont until that book appeared in my Amazon recommendations. I took a chance based on the description and am glad I did. Any fan of the “weird fiction” genre will love it. Cover is cool, too, but not particularly representative of what’s inside.

No rails could hold LoT. 

This is glorious. I read all of that in Ice Cube’s voice, too.

I’ll buy a PS5 just for this game and God of War. But I’ll wait until the inevitable DLC is released, biding my time by playing through HZD a couple more times.

My favorite Joe Hill anecdote is when he tweeted that he input a sample of his writing into one of those “what famous author do I write like?” text analysis web sites and it predictably returned “Stephen King.” He was basically like “I don’t know what I expected.”
