Michael Moorcock's The Whispering Swam and The Woods of Arcady definitely look like reads I'd enjoy. Now if only the first book (Swarm) was on sale with Arcady >:V
#i can't say i've ever dabbled in reading metafictional fantasy before#probably the only other one i can think of i've heard about is philip k. dick's 'valis'#but valis is dick's exploration w/ his religious experiences in the '70s w/ a sci-fi bent#whereas the sanctuary of the white friars is basically a fictionalized AU of moorcock growing up in the '50s and '60s#with a fantasy bent to it#there's something very human and enjoyable about reading post-WW2 london that i liked#when reading the excerpt for the whispering swarm#i'm hoping if i ever get around to reading it in full it'll maintain that atmosphere#armi reads books
