Guinevere, Best Nun Ever (Arthur Dies at the End)

By Jeffrey Wikstrom

DID YOU KNOW: "Murdered by Sir Lancelot" was the number one cause of death of Knights of the Round Table? King Arthur ordered Guinevere burned at the stake on three separate occasions? When Sir Gawaine died, up in heaven he was attended by the ghosts of all the mothers of his many illegitimate children? Sir Mordred's ascension came with a groundswell of popular support because peasants were stupid idiots who didn't deserve Arthur? If you did know all those things, clearly you've read Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, and I pity you. No one should have to slog through that pile of continuity errors and insipid descriptions of jousts. I've spent years of my life poring over all twenty-one Books of this foundational work of fantasy literature, dreadful as it is. Here, for your amusement and edification, I recount, dissect, and ruthlessly mock each ridiculous plot contrivance, each self-contradictory anecdote, and each unnamed damsel who runs in from offscreen and dies. Arthur Dies at the End volume 5: Guinevere, Best Nun Ever covers he grand finale of Le Morte d'Arthur , Books XVIII through XXI. Marvel as Sir Gawaine pulls a face turn/ ! Be astonished as King Arthur spends chapters and chapters sobbing ! Sympathize as Sir Lancelot regretfully starts a civil war ! Mordred, Arthur, and Lancelot are all locked in a fight for control of Guinevere (and the country); I'm not telling you how it ends but maybe if you've been paying attention you can make a few guesses! ARTHUR DIES AT THE END : I read Le Morte d'Arthur so you don't have to!
