What's the Strangest Thing?
In any field, you should find the strangest thing and then explore it. Cassio Ishiguro's The Buried Giant is basically a fairy tale set in Arthurian times. I read Neil Gaiman's book Stardust Years ago, and it feels like a fairy tale. And I don't know why. There is some sense of strangeness that I also find in Beowulf or Lord Dunsony. But I don't find in almost all fantasy somehow it seems internally consistent but very different.
