This week, Maureen Kincaid Speller and I discuss The Buried Giant, our own responses & critical reactions, and the creation of national myths. (part 2 is here)

Critical Reactions

• Ishiguro in The New York Times
• Ursula Le Guin on "Are They Going to Say It Is Fantasy" (and an Addendum)
• Laura Miller - "A strange hybrid of genre and realism"
• Tom Holland in The Guardian
• Strange Horizons Book Club
• John Clute on The Buried Giant

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and landscapes

The amazing art which inspired me to actually get this project off the ground was created by @etrandem
