Well, you likely Portishead despising philistines, I'm off to go read some Savage Sword of Conan |
|
and then go to sleep.
You probably don't understand the genius (both artistically and literary) of the Savage Sword of Conan, either.
This is precisely why American Idol, Survivor, and Friends are/were so popular.
Good night!

Rather dull stories. Strangely anti-semitic.
His non-Conan stuff was rather forgettable too.

8. In terms of pulp, he was okay. |
|
In terms of literature? No, he isn't so great.
His characters and stories were great, but yeah, he didn't spin the tales at a level they deserved.
I think the reason he gets so much acclaim is because of his characters - Conan, Red Sonja, that Puritan guy. Great, fantastic characters.
But ploddy heavy-handed writing.

He couldn't hold a candle to Fritz Lieber.
