The Worm Ouroboros, you BITCH

>>10145722

On top of Tolkien's general brilliance at evoking atmosphere and historical depth, it spoke sharply against modernity and prevailing post-war ways of thinking at a time and was "discovered" in the US at a time when such critique was just beginning to become a major popular cause. Also at a time when white Americans began to use marijuana in large numbers and this is a really good book to read high. So is pic related tbqh.

Just look at the time.

It's time yet again for me to rec the Ulysses of fantasy literature by one of the best English prose stylists of the 20th century.

Eddison's The Worm Ouroboros and the Zimiamvian trilogy is the best there is.

This is a lot better at being ASOIAF than ASOIAF is.
