The early career retrospective of C. L. Moore continues with "Tree of Life" (1936), a Northwest Smith tale, and meditation on her influences and place within the context of WEIRD TALES.

I always thought that C. L. Moore's character Northwest Smith was like a cross between Han Solo and Indiana Jones. With a pinch of H. P Lovecraft.

What's not to like? Hollywood is missing a bet here?

@nyrath Hollywood likes to take original properties and slather them on generic plots that pass the focus tester group, the money guy, the other money guy, the director, and a committee of writers. What comes out at the end rarely resembles the original material.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
