. . Hello and welcome to Legendarium GT.
I'm Jingles90 and with me today is Huronfan.
Hello, hello, hello.
And today we are going to talk about Michael Moorcock's second Elric novel, The Fortress of the Pearl.
chronologically chronologically yeah good note uh these we are reading these in the order that the uh saga press saga press volumes uh release them which is in the internal chronological order which i understand is what michael morecock prefers which makes sense because i think we're reading a lot of stories that have had revision and things over time to make them flow a little bit better uh together there's a lot of them
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Very rarely do you hear an author prefer something other than published.
Yeah.
I think, well, I think the history of these is so fascinating because they absolutely were just like these pulp novels that he added to, you know, different magazines and things.
And as they gained popularity, he needed to find a way to actually try to get them some order and mean, uh, some structure around how they're to be read, especially as people became more interested in reading them.
So, and they lost accessibility.
Yeah.
It is a fun publishing practice once you get popularity in the journal world.
Probably not something that we really see much anymore.
Well, I'm thankful for it, and I can read this omnibus.
Yeah,
and it makes it super easy.
I'm not feeling like I'm missing anything.
