Google Books no longer shows it, and it's not among those I have library access to - but might be accessible for US users of HathiTrust?28 Jul 2026 10:52 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrpakitfhs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mr6m4rkub22nClassicists write a review of the Odyssey without the word 'enargeia' challenge.21 Jul 2026 20:03 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr6m4rkub22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mr3d5fldv22bI am enjoying living in Canterbury very much - it's a great city, with loads going on and lots of lovely spaces to spend time in. It is not, however, big enough to have "quarters", and the desperate attempt to rebrand streets of the city as e.g. "creative quarter" are deeply annoying.20 Jul 2026 12:45 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr3d5fldv22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mqwpzzznak2rAs well as the utopian novel being terrible, it's a remarkably odd plan to build a democratic utopia by just murdering a bunch of leading figures until you happen upon the right one who was especially bad and damaging society.

At least until this year, which looks like it'll be my last as there are not even fixed-term teaching-only contracts in my area to go for this time. It is terrible, and I'm glad to see the BA highlighting clearly how bad it's got, even if I am pessimistic that anyone will care.

But the "novel" in Metaphor Refantazio is terrible. What on earth is the plot. Where are the characters.
