![]() ![]() ![]() Mostly it's because the city of Lankhmar is in a slump with no picaresque adventures in prospect but also because even these chums sometimes get on each other's nerves after a while. Fafhrd and the Mouser have decided to break up their partnership (and you can't blame Yoko Ono). Then I'd be violating the fair use convention, get a stern e-mail from Leiber's estate and have to go to my website and grudgingly rewrite the review, anyway. So you may gather that I liked it.įrom the November 1959 issue of FANTASTIC, "Lean Times In Lankhmar" is so neatly constructed and worked out, so packed with ironic comments and amusing details, that it's going to be hard to summarize it without being tempted to quote great huge chunks of it. This is my favorite of all the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories, the funniest Sword and Sorcery story I've ever read and maybe the best single piece of writing Fritz Leiber ever did. ![]()
