What is Fantasy?

Tagged with His Dark Materials Books 0 comments

I found an interesting page about "Fantasy writing". It talks about the definition of Fantay writing, the questions of Good and Bad in fantasy writing, and much more. It also mentions His Dark Materials.

Read the article here.

It mentions His Dark Materials:

"Far from being escapist, good fantasy writing invites the reader to confront big questions (see for instance Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials or Peter Dickinson's Eva)"

"Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials explores the most profound of existential questions."

"And in Philip Pullman's Northern Lights, Lyra's Oxford is both familiar and strange. The reader might ask whether this is the Oxford in another time? Is it the past? Is it the future? But Pullman explains in his preface 'The first volume is set in a universe like ours, but different in many ways'"
