Old Story that I cannot find

[justjustin (imported)]

There's not that much mainstream "eunuch fiction" out there, although there is a somewhat tedious "John the Eunuch" series where the protagonist is a eunuch. There's not much else to it, though. I suffered through one book, won't read any more of them.

I've got 'Cry to Heaven' by Anne Rice. I liked that very much indeed.

And 'The Persian Boy' by Mary Renault. That was okay too.

Plus the hero of River God by Wilbur Smith. But he's a rather unusual person. I'm not sure whether I like that one or not.

Taita in "River God" is too flamboyant and talented to believe, even for a novel character.

I'm about halfway through. I don't think anyone would have the time to be so good at so many things. And maybe he's just saying he can do all those things because he's lost something he was enjoying using.

Yes, for the 10,000th or so time, talula is working on indexes to search the story archive for just about anything he can think of.

That explains a lot. Thnx.
