Es findet sich der kurze Essay "Beyond the Tolkienesque Fairyland We Know" von China Mieville. Scheint relativ alt (PPS) zu sein.
Fazit:
It's paradoxical, trying to depict a world that's simultaneously convincing and utterly fantastic. But one idea unites the two impulses: the recognition that things are not neat and tidy or monolithic, but complex and contradictory, contingent, constantly surprising and far more interesting for all that. That could describe the best and strangest fantasy, and the most hardheaded depiction of reality. That's why Kafka is a realist, and why we can have it both ways.
