Nick Jeffery and John Granger Continue Their 60th Birthday Celebration of the Life and Work of J. K. Rowling with a Conversation about the Context and Meaning of Her "Political Fairy-Tale"
Thank you both for revealing the fascinating depths and inner meanings of The Ickabog. I too have only read it once, but you’ve made me want to revisit it with a new understanding!
I got super into the Hogwarts Professor blog sometime around when The Silkworm and Career of Evil came out. So maybe I wasn't as aware of how prominent John was in the Harry Potter world as a speaker and writer.
I didn't really understand how much you lost in JRK's cancelling, John. I can't say much more then that I'm sorry. But aside from plagiarism (!), the "she-who-must-not-be named" crowd are really missing out.
I didn't cancel them, but I never had the energy for the mental gymnastics of extoling the works of an author whose existence they won't admit to. Hogwarts Professor clearly has the best analysis and most interesting posts anyway!
