From the beginning of /sffg/'s history. I've been here longer than you, so shut the fuck up.

Does Bakker have a reading list?

Asking for a friend.

This is an essay by R. Scott Bakker on the nature of Literature, and in defense of Epic Fantasy as literature. it could easily be applied to SF as well.

What do you all think? Can Fantasy be serious literature?

>This means all the old and largely unfounded prejudices against genre fiction must be set aside. Genre only seems antithetical to ‘literature’ because the literary have turned it into a flattering foil, abandoned it, in effect, leaving a rhetorical fog of self-congratulation in their wake. In my own case, I chose epic fantasy because I knew the best way to provoke readers with a narrative meditation on the nature and consequences of belief was to reach actual believers. And provoke I did. Other writers, like China Mieville, M. John Harrison, Gene Wolfe, John Crowley, to name just a few, are doing the same thing, producing work that is obviously literary, openly provocative, yet unheard of in literary circles for the simple sin of wearing wrong generic skin. These are the writers who are genuinely shaking things up, as opposed to hawking intellectual and aesthetic buzzes inside the literary echo chamber.

Is he right?

It's not too late for a /bakkgen/ my fellow Dunyain, there's enough Meat (no pun intended, lol) to Bakker's work for a thread of its own, free of orientalist influence.
