"Ehxtra Hh’s? Anghsty Vhampires!"
Oct. 17th, 2007 08:19 amFrom the site that remains my favourite at the moment comes this:
"Some people contend that the premises for most great speculative fiction can be summarized in one sentence."
(I remember someone saying this once. Does anyone remember who, exactly?)
"We here at Smart Bitches like to go a bit further than that: we maintain that the premises and plot points for the best (and worst) romance novels can be summarized in four words."
Whereupon numerous four-word synopses are offered, many of which cracked me up, including the one in the subject line of this post.
One of them ("No memory? No problem!") might even work for both Saturn Returns and The Resurrected Man, which is a slightly mortifying thought.
