A Fish Dinner in Memison Author:E. R. Eddison The Zimiamvian Trilogy Like Tolkien's Middle Earth, Zimiamvia is a realm which mirrors our own world. But in it passions run stonger - life, love, and treachery are epic in their intensity... and magic is reality. Foreshadowed in THE WORM OUROBOROS, this trilogy is, as C. S. Lewis said, "a new literary species, a new rhetoric, a new climate of ... more »the imagination... These words are works, first and foremost, of art. And they are irreplaceable." f In this second book of the Aimiamvian Trilogy, the royal guests at A FISH DINNER IN MEMISON amuse themselves with the creation of a sadly flawed world... and in an instant spend a lifetime in it. The other titles are Mistress of Mistresses and The Mezentian Gate. "Each of the three is a drama complete in itself; but read together... they give a history, covering more than seventy years in a special world designed for Her Lover by Aphrodite for whon (as the reader must suspend unbelief and suppose) all worlds are made."« less
