Ah, but the question is: by goblins, or with goblins?

Yevgeny Zamyatin was a philosopher, author and dissident in a time and place that tolerated none of those roles - Stalin's Russia. His dystopian science fiction novel We, written in 1920, never saw publication in Russia. He died in Paris in 1937, exiled from Russia at his own request.
For me, his quote expresses the essential shared nature of science fiction and fantasy: a revolution that never ends - an infinite revolution.
Comments and observations on science fiction and fantasy.
Why "The Infinite Revolution"?
"Revolution is everywhere, in everything. It is infinite. There is no final revolution, no final number.

Introduction
I've been reading science fiction and fantasy for as long as I can remember - in fact, my involvement goes back further than that, my mother used to say that she had read the Narnia books to me when I was a baby. I've maintained my interest over the years, and after my friend Colin started HIS blog (Campbell Brothers Winery), I thought to myself, hey, if no one stopped HIM*... I make no claim to being an authority in any way, shape or form, and since there are lots of lists, biographies and bibliographies out there on the net, this is just going to be a place for me to vent some of my thoughts and opinions.
*And the Campbell Brothers may be desperately in need of stopping, based on all evidence.

ReplyDeleteYes, and everyone knows that fresh goblin is better than the tinned stuff.

According to the advertising, "Goblin Our Original Steak and Kidney Pudding delivered worldwide by British Corner Shop, the online supermarket for British Expats." This is what a reviewer had to say...
ReplyDelete"No fault of the supplier but the steak & kidney pudding was probably one of the worst things I have ever eaten. Hard dry case part filled with mush. Tasteless. Reverting to Fray Bentos steak and kidney puddings which are excellant - much larger, good filling and tasty case and only a smidgeon more in price." I see there are enough homesick British Expats sprinkled around the globe that they have become connoseurs of jetsetting puddings...
