I was recently listening a podcast from a guy specializing in 19th century fantastic, British literature. At one point he mentions Jules Verne and how he isn’t very well known in the English speaking world.
On the flip side, he talks a lot about H.G. Wells.
Being from a Scandinavian country, it’s the opposite here. Jules Verne is very well known but I barely knew about H.G. Wells before this podcast.
What do you think?
full of crap, but using a bait technique to make their listeners feel like they are literary hipsters.
reminds me of Vonnegut fans… who delusional think he is some unappreciated genius author when his books are mandatory high school reading in the USA…
it’s like thinking Charles Dickens is obscure…
