Your insights into Lee’s saga are as always much appreciated. The talk of how language can be leveraged for optimal emotional effect in particular gives me much to think about regarding my own reading & writing. Mayhaps as a denouement after this series is concluded you might do a dedicated breakdown of the shortcomings of Gaiman’s pastiches and how he got away with each plagiarism? Because I’m curious how he was allowed to steal so openly from Jack Kirby of all people, and I’d like to see you rip into Despair and Desire even if they don’t have a superior iteration in Flat Earth.

Wonderful analysis. I’ll have to read some of Tanith Lee’s work after reading this.
