Thursday, December 30, 2004 For those of us (myself included) who got super-pissed off about the taking-God-out-of-His Dark Materials thing -- Philip Pullman explains how we overreacted. Oddly, Pullman and I make the same points -- it's the calling a spade a spade that got to me, the need to deceive and cloak words in a story already rife with metaphor. Other interesting news from that essay -- no more Chris Weitz. Which may or may not be a good thing. It's good that he knows his limits, sure, but who are they going to replace him with? That's the question that keeps you up nights. | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
