>depicts Nietzschean master as an effeminate soiboy who flees screaming like a girl the moment he realizes his mind tricks don't work on the strong and masculine Maskull.
>Depicts his creative artistic endeavor as nothing more than a meaningless, self-indulgent delusion that produces absolutely nothing of value and doesn't even come close to the likes of Earthrid's music.
>Has Maskull brutally choke him to death.

What did Lindsay mean by this? Was Crimtyphon an ubermensch? was Maskull? Or was it a rib on Hegel's idea of masters as these fearless men who spend their time doing "higher pursuits" like art and shit?

Any other works that are anti-this-world or anti-life while still retaining some sense of heroism?

I feel like I need some companion book to truly understand what's going on. Is there any?
