1901

Cover for 1901

Review:

Not re­al­ly my thing, what with all the ca­su­al racism and misog­y­ny.

Review:

Fun sto­ry. While it's about mag­ic and it has a sort of mag­ic sys­tem it feels more like a late 19th cen­tu­ry nov­el of man­ner­s, with just some mi­nor mag­i­cal el­e­ments in it.

If you like that kind of thing, then this is your kind of thing?

Review:

I had fond mem­o­ries of read­ing An­der­son and oth­er clas­sic Sci­Fi of the same vin­tage when I was a kid.

Well, that seems to be the right age. On one hand, a kid is apt to be car­ried away by the ad­ven­ture, which is fun, while al­so ig­nor­ing the mis­oginy, the ca­su­al chau­vin­is­m, the jin­go­is­m, the gen­er­al metaphor­i­cal racism and a whole lot of oth­er isms and in­ys which, as a grown up, re­al­ly dull the en­joy­ment of the ex­pe­ri­ence.
