Tanith Lee

So that's kind of been on my mind.

The science fiction author I keep trying to get into and I have not been able to right now is Tanith Lee, which is also in the territory of stuff that's very strange, very weird, and has kind of like this sort of vibrating stuff between worlds, between realities.

Yeah, it is...

You know, it's like 1970s sort of like weird fantasy where it really is kind of like the sort of very exhausted end of like classical fantasy writing.

I believe this is episode 169, if I'm counting correctly.

And today we're going to be talking about The Birthgrave by Tanith Lee.

originally published in 1975 from Daw.

It was not her first published book, but her first published adult novel and her first U.S. publication.

mine.

And myself, as I said, the first time I read it was, oh dear God, 40 years ago when I was a wee child in college.

And I've read it a few times over the years since I, I don't know if I'd say it's my favorite Tanith Lee book, but that's not because it's not good.

It's just because she got really good as, as she went on.

Um, and coming up next on the appendix and book club, uh, we got August 16th.

We're going to discuss Tanith Lee's the birth grave.

Um, and I hope as many of us can show up for that as possible because I want to hear what we have to say about it.

Um, And so did I say August 16th? That's August 16th.
