Well… he did debut in 1961, BUT if you want a story about a sad man addicted to the sword he got from a demon twink from atop a throne of solid ruby, a gothic attitude toward his lady cousin, and a third of a book being a shamanic dream sequence, then the Eternal Champion is your guy

You know what they say about a man who can't make it work with a woman and has a... dedicated relationship to his sword
Maybe I should switch to something better suited to Bar Cart Bookshelf, but also... what if I just read another Elric novel?

Oh, also the NEA and NIH should be massively expanded and used to provide funding and research support to a far wider variety of creatives and independent scholars who lack support from a university, a publisher, or a non-profit.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The Craft Sequence is everywhere for those with eyes to see! Including in a glass. Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about DEAD HAND RULE by Max Gladstone: the great powers of the world converge, struggling for tenuous alliance at the end of all things. Time for a Two Toxicity Lunch!

Unfortunately, as with the US Embassy in Ottawa, I am deeply charmed when American buildings look like remnants of the Galactic Empire. I crave sinister and honest architecture!

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE DEAD WITHHELD by L.D. Lewis. An occult detective wracked with grief by the loss of her wife & committed to vengeance walks the mean streets of a neon near future to delicious effect! Our drink, San Guin, is a cool sip on hot days.

Review: METAL FROM HEAVEN by August Clarke
A lesbian seeks revenge on the man who slaughtered her family during a strike, and there is so much world-building and politics that really make this a stand out read for me.
