#edge of the world: also cliche but somehow always fresh. questions of liminality and perspective. what constitutes the world?
Text
stories about a journey to the edge of the world are like heroin to me. i will love it every. single. time. even if it's not good i will still love it i don't care. quality is meaningless in the face of such a hypnotic and philosophically interesting setpiece.
#the well at the world's end#voyage of the dawn treader#sinbad legend of the seven seas#off the top of my head. i know ive read a bunch more#the way the story grows stranger and more mythical as the edge grows closer. like reality is unraveling into dreams#end of the world: overdone and often boring#edge of the world: also cliche but somehow always fresh. questions of liminality and perspective. what constitutes the world?#why is the edge? what is the edge? who goes to the edge?#this is something (literally the only thing) i didn't like about discworld. the edge is way too normal.#tag 5
