We have restarted the Worlds of Speculative Fiction lecture/discussion series in a new online monthly format.  Each session will have a roughly 90-minute video, which will be premiered (allowing chat interaction between viewers and myself).  Then immediately following that, we will have a Zoom videoconferencing session, where we'll continue the discussion.

This session focuses on the fantasy writer, R. Scott Bakker, and on the first book of his Prince of Nothing Trilogy, The Darkness That Comes Before.  We discuss his biography, the narrative universe of his stories, and several philosophical themes of that first book.  In the next two sessions, we will discuss the second and third book in that series.

Link the the first video in the series. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aspwxl6Cyzw)

Premieres tomorrow, March 13th, 2021.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed, but it was decent.

Maybe the post-video meet-up was more interesting, but I wasn't home at the time, so I wasn't able to join.
