Projects: A round up

[faustus]

So... can anyone think of lame, amputee, leg-less, club-footed or missing toed characters, ideally hero(in)es in modern fantasy fiction? Film doesn't count. Mind goes ... blank.



Let's see, these are the things I need to write this Summer:

Banks chapter (I made a start but next items means I have to rethink)

0 / 2,000 (0.0%)

Banks chapter (guessing on wordcount)

5,000 / 7,000 (71.4%)

Baudrillard chapter (I have hand written notes somewhere)

400 / 2,000 (20.0%)

Fantasy and Psychoanalyis chapter (exists in head)

788 / 4,000 (19.7%)

Queer YASF (powerpoint of talk available)

2,000 / 4,000 (50.0%)

I was thinking that novels about LB might be considered modern even though he isn't. Tom Holland's The Vampyre for instance.

There must be plenty of Fisher King variants out there... Tim Powers' The Drawing Of The Dark maybe?

Oh and Katherine Dunn's Geek Love has several deformed characters which might count.
