![]() ![]() ![]() That said, Gor has riled up a lot of feminists over the years. The writer kind of softens the blow in these passages by having his central character express his distaste for Gorean slave customs and only playing along because it's the only way to deal with Gorean women who have the custom deeply ingrained and think a man weak if he is not dominant. ![]() Don't get me wrong, a woman reading these depictions of thier sex will either be amused or, more likely, upset. I was aware of it's controversial nature owing to the author's interest in bondage and a female slave fetish, but at least in this book, it's pretty mild stuff, not even vaguely prurient. It has plenty of uniqueness and actually, very good writing. ![]() It is quite obvious that Edgar Rice Burroughs captivated the author at some point because it is so much like John Carter that some dismiss it as a rip-off. Anyone else?įast and heavy Sword and Planet with technology, flying warbirds called Tarns, an interesting City State culture on a planet much like Barsoom and and Bronze Age Greece. I am thoroughly enjoying reading this first tale in the very prolific (25 books?) GOR series. ![]()
