What do you feel are the origins of The Once And Future King legends? Thanks
Allison Hurd
The book cites Mallory's Le Morte D'Arthur as its main source. But I think White just uses that as a framework for a story that is not based in legend, or, perhaps, is part of the ur legend, which is the cultural and societal damage of pretending that any group is so righteous that they deserve to purge others. I'm not a scholar of Arthurian legend--I don't think the grail and the table and Gwen and Lance and the rest are interesting in and of themselves--but I think the war for finding a reason to fight and a reason to die and most importantly reasons to live and love are where this book excels.

Hi Allison: I know you are quite busy and have lots of options for SFFBC to read, but if you could take a look at my book, Argos Incident? It might be something for you to put on shelf would definitely appreciate it. The reviews have been quite good. Have yourself a wonderful day. David Kuntz

Hi Allison! Are you still practicing law and writing? Are their any skills or processes you learned while practicing law that help you write? I curious if you have any Sci Fi recommendations. I've recently read Rosewater and Rosewater Insurrection (based upon your review/advice) and I loved them both. Is there any other Sci Fi you recommend? I like to try some Sci Fi that's a little different. Thanks!
