Arthur Dies at the End #2

Morgan le Fay, Queen of Gore

Rate this book
If you did know all those things, clearly you’ve read Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, and I pity you. No one should have to slog through that pile of continuity errors and insipid descriptions of jousts. I’ve spent years of my life poring over all twenty-one Books of this foundational work of fantasy literature, dreadful as it is. Here, for your amusement and edification, I recount, dissect, and ruthlessly mock each ridiculous plot contrivance, each self-contradictory anecdote, and each unnamed damsel who runs in from offscreen and dies.
Arthur Dies at the End volume 2: Morgan le Fay, Queen of Gore covers Books IV through VII of Le Morte d’Arthur. Here you’ll find stories from King Arthur’s vigorous golden age. Morgan le Fay ’s intricate betrayal! The time Arthur and Sir Kay teamed up to kill a giant! The time Sir Lancelot took out two giants all by himself , and the other time Sir Lancelot napped his way to glory!

Carrying on the sarcastic tradition of analyzing (but in no way respecting) Sir Thomas Malory's Arthurian text. The running gags are fantastic, and the disdain for frequent jousting recaps is wonderful. As is citing Twain complaining about same.

2nd of Wikstrom's hilarious rendering of Thomas Malory's LA MORTE D'ARTHUR into modern English, with many funny asides poking fun at Malory's plot holes, misogyny, redundancies, and ramblings.

This is, I think, the best way to consume Malory. The only difficulty being the source material is still Malory.
