About this listen

Welcome back, everyone, to Something About Dragons. Today, we’ll be discussing two towering titans of prewar pulp. Righteous raconteurs. Pulp provocateurs. Short story samurai. We’ll be discussing the works of Catherine Lucille Moore, the First Lady of Pulp Fantasy, creator of the inestimable Jirel of Joiry, aka C.L. Moore because sexism. And also, we shall be covering the inescapable Robert E. Howard, creator of Kull the Conqueror, Solomon Kane, and an obscure character named Conan the Cimmerian.


Content note: discussions of sexism and racism present within the texts and in the general milieu of 1930’s America.
