Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!

Thom Dunn Frankenstein.....Arctic, not Antarctic ? Likewise Poe's Pym ?


message 3: by Bri (new)

Bri Fidelity Pym is definitely Antarctic. The Verne up there is its sequel, even, I think.

I cannot for the life of me remember whether Frankenstein was Antarctic or not.

I learn something new every day.

Hale yeah, it starts there! That's where the monster winds up too. Poor monster.

ETA Wait, it's the NORTH Pole. I just woke up, I was an English major, I got lost in my hometown, what do you want from me, &c &c.

Happens to the worst of us.


✨ Bookferatu ✨ Sorry about that guys, when I created the list, I really had Frankenstein in my head as starting in the south pole, my bad!

Instantly forgiveable.... A quibble of Poe's Pym: Does not A. G. Pym discover that Earth is a torus, both poles of which do not exist ?


✨ Bookferatu ✨ Not sure, mate. I think Maureen added that one. I myself have not read it.

I added it. As I recall they actually did cross some sort of ice field before reaching the island -- and isn't that described as being NEAR the (suspected) location of the South Pole at least?

Please tell me they didn't have to eat their sled dogs to make it.

Pym is a sequel to Poe's
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket & Related Tales.

That's the Pym I meant! As shorthand. Either Pym wasn't up there then or - more than likely - I glossed over it entirely (MINE are the entries that matter, MINE).

I wonder if Verne's Antarctic Mystery is compatible with Johnson's Pym. Duelling sequels!


message 16: by Mir (new)

Mir Yes, the impermanence of internet text is confusing sometimes.

wonder if Verne's Antarctic Mystery is compatible with Johnson's Pym. Duelling sequels!

Or you could turn to Pride and Prejudice and have a sequels gang war.


message 17: by Thom (new)

Thom Dunn Waiting on: Pride and Prejudice and Icebergs (A sequel to Sense and Sensibility and Sensimilla).


message 18: by Joy D (new)

Joy D Just FYI - Labyrinth of Ice is set in the Arctic not the Antarctic
