1917. Today, some recognize Cabell as one of the first contemporary
writers from the South. Like his friend and fellow Richmond writer
Ellen Glasgow, Cabell was not afraid to satirize what he saw as the
South's contradictions. Others, noting Cabell's unique blending of
classic myths and legends with his own imagination, consider him a
pioneer of fantasy writing. The Cream of the Jest is an absurdist,
aesthetic heroic fantasy, one of the finest and central works of
heroic fantasy as a distinct genre. See other titles by this author
