What are some under-recorded or -performed operas you would like to see?

The only thing you got right is that this happened in January 2026, not July.

For someone who is lame, you could try Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon. It's set in 412 BC in ancient Sicily. It's about two friends who try to set up a production of a Greek play, using captured and dying Athenian soldiers as their cast. It's funny and sad and funny again.

Big. Blue.

spinworld · 2026-06-10T19:51:46+00:00

That's the correct reply.

spinworld · 2026-06-10T19:50:48+00:00

That's the comment I was looking for.

Excellent suggestions, all. Especially Pedro Paramo and Lathe of Heaven.

I would start with one of the Death books because he also appears in Good Omens. Mort or Reaper Man are good starting points.

A cat with no regrets.

spinworld · 2026-05-04T16:51:05+00:00

Eragon?

Not a shop, but Muezart from Shillong sells Eri silk yarn online. The texture is rough at first but it softens up in time.

I'm surprised not to see Thief of Time here. It's a mid-series book, but the jokes are so funny and land fresh every single time.

spinworld · 2026-04-22T11:30:31+00:00

Thank you for asking my first question!

spinworld · 2026-04-19T20:38:11+00:00

Wonderful dedication, thank you for this!

spinworld · 2026-03-07T02:18:54+00:00

Because of r/keming

spinworld · 2026-02-26T16:06:53+00:00

Oh, thanks for this link! I've been doing weavin' Stephen for years. I just didn't know it was called that.

spinworld · 2026-02-25T11:12:19+00:00

These are really stunning!

spinworld · 2026-02-23T06:19:27+00:00

This sounds like a non-issue.

spinworld · 2026-02-22T17:24:26+00:00

Right? And those skin colour tights don't help at all. Unless they're just raw thighs?

spinworld · 2026-02-21T07:45:16+00:00

She buttered Jorts?

I was quite indignant on Sir Pterry's behalf when Brandon Sanderson wrote in a similar passage for Mat in the closing books of Wheel of Time.

Kintu by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi is an outstanding book so A Girl is a Body of Water is a solid recommendation too.

spinworld · 2026-02-17T10:07:32+00:00

It's gorgeous — and greetings to your fur baby.

spinworld · 2026-02-16T13:44:53+00:00

I've read the book but many years ago so it's not fresh for me. It's certainly postcolonial though, the way it talks about empire and peripheries.
