Quote:Well, everybody's entitled to an opinion, no matter how overblown that opinion might be stated... And has Ms. le Guin changed her mind, or does she still consider most of Charles de Lint's works to not be fantasy?I didn't say he's not entitled to an opinion, just that his way of expressing that opinion -- an opinion with which I don't completely disagree -- irked me.
I don't know if she's changed her mind or not. If I'm recalling correctly, I read the essay back in 1980 or '81, before de Lint started writing. But she said something to the effect that characters in fantasy should speak like those in The Worm Ouroboros, forsooth, by'r Lady, and not like those in Katherine Kurtz's Deryni stories, dammit.
