Check the archives. It was talked about a few years ago. You know newfag memers when they only talk about botns, when wolfe had so many other books.

Considering I only care about good writing it would be more accurate to say that very few people care about quality and most would happily consume slop by the truckload, which is why it gets published. What a sorry state genre fiction is in, and the source of the rot is obvious.

As an antidote to the extravagances of modern publishing I recommend you read CAS' The Abominations of Yondo, or listen to a reading of it here:

With a not just an economic use of words but a downright austere trimming into only that which is necessarily he paints a world, tells a story and gives the reader a vivid imagery that rivals that of multi-volume series.

>that pic
You know something? That pic made me realise that the American white male has a deep seated mental fear of losing their white women.
Every old scifi book is always someone / something stealing a white woman, and white guys chasing after it...
It this cuckold fetish wired deep into their DNA? This shit shows up too constantly to be coincidence.
