Episode 5: Robert E Howard & Gene Wolfe

What is there to say about Robert E Howard and Gene Wolfe? Well, in fact, quite a lot. In this episode we discuss the legendary Robert E Howard focusing on Conan, his most iconic creation and one of the pinnacles of fiction. Who is Conan and what does he represent? 

 

Then we discuss our feelings on Gene Wolfe through the lens of Book of the New Sun and Wizard Knight especially. We talk about his uniqueness as a writer and attempt to delve spoiler-free into these two incredible works and the impressions they’ve left on us. 

 

Finally we ask the hard, the impossible questions, who would win in a fight, Conan or Sir Able?
