Summary
Truth is the fire that fetches thunder. A planned minisode on the Guide to Dalemark goes fully off the rails with the addition of early proto-Dalemark novella "The True State of Affairs," for a wide-ranging discussion on art, time, splendor, and a possible alternate vision for Diana Wynne Jones' career. Transcript available here [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_6Jh55u0awKGjlhC6xMln_DLjJqmQy5f/view?usp=sharing], and we'll be back sometime next month with our next bonus episode on The Tough Guide to Fantasyland! NB: this episode contains discussion of child abuse and pedophilia.
