I am finally caught up with Fables. Holy fuckballs. So I looked up the author and yes, I was right to suspect the guy is a staunch political conservative. It's...actually incredibly interesting knowing I was right about that not least because it means that the following sequence of facts, that I am convinced are all utterly intentional, are suddenly about a million percent more fascinating in terms of authorial choice:
( In which a huge part of Fables' central conflict involves a pro-choice witch heroically toppling an evil, pro-life Empire. NO RLY THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENS. )
YOU GUISE. I JUST. FRAU TOTENKINDER. I LIKE HER A LOT.
( HERE IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF HER TERRIFYING FANTASTICNESS. )
It's a really interesting series. Some of the stuff in it bugs me; some is incredible. I'd like to make this into a series of posts, but we'll see if I feel I have anything else worth saying.
Have any of you read this series?
