Brief Notes on "Gods Can Eat Snow if You Tell Stories About It"
Prison-Break Guard Games stolen from fairy war in Berserk. That is my favorite scene from that book so naturally I used it to mark the break into more intense absurdity in the Snow story
Ending with the death of the narrator was chosen for several reasons:
1 Normal hard sci-fi tropes (bleakness, death)
2 Normal magical realism tropes (not just death but reverse-doubtcasting on original existence)
3 The author's obscure "genetic narrative" theme. (God/human matings are traditionally fruitful, implies that the narrator lives on in offspring)
