El exilio de Tarl Cabot ha llegado a su fin. Nuevamente está en Gor, la Contratierra, donde antes fuera el más poderoso y aclamado guerrerpo del planeta.

Pero todo ha cambiado: Ko-ro-ba, su ciudad natal ha sido brutalmente destruida. Su amada Talena ha desaparecido. Sus amigos están dispersos por el planeta. Y el propio Tarl Cabot está considerado como un proscrito al que hay que matar.Su única esperanza está en encontrar a los misteriosos Reyes Sacerdotes que gobiernan Gor y someterse a ellos. Pero Tarl Cabot no está dispuesto a ello…

El profesor de Filosofía John Lange nos presenta en sus novelas de Gor, firmadas como John Norman, un mundo salvaje y peligroso, en el cual sus habitantes se entregan libremente a sus instintos primitivos. Un mundo en el que la guerra y el sexo son una constante y en el que las pasiones más primitivas se han desatado. Con su serie de Crónicas de la Contratierra ha vendido millones de ejemplares en el mundo y ha visto llevado al cine el primer título de la serie.

We zijn vele jaren later. Tarl is na zijn vorig avontuur terug naar de Aarde gebracht, maar — check it out! — hij keert weer terug naar Gor.

Waar blijkt dat zijn stad gewoon wég is, en hij als stadloze persoon vogelvrij is.

Hij komt terecht in een stad die gerund wordt door vrouwen, en iedereen is er miserabel. De vrouwen incluis, want ah ja, vrouwen voelen zich gewoon beter als er een man is om hen te zeggen hoe zich te gedragen. Alle vrouwen zijn gemaskerd, en er is een redelijke Leather Goddesses of Phobos-vibe, gelijk dat het allemaal een vaag lesbische ondertoon heeft.

Tarl is een slaaf en wordt in de arena gesmeten om te vechten tegen andere slaven en uiteindelijk ook met een wilde en levensgevaarlijke tarn (een enorme roofvogel), maar slaagt erin om zich te bevrijden, en ge raadt nooit hoé. Inderdaad: de levensgevaarlijke tarn was zowaar zijn eigen tarn van jaren en jaren geleden, die zich hem nog herinnerde.

Afijn. hij ontsnapt, komt een tijdje later een slavenkaravaan tegen, en ge raadt het nooit: de oogverblindend mooie slavin die aan de boom geketend is, was zowaar de bazin van de stad die gerund werd door vrouwen!

De koningin van de stad haat Tarl. Maar eigenlijk haat ze hem omdat ze er heimelijk verliefd op is, omdat hij zo mannelijk is, wat de inwoners van haar stad niét zijn, en dat ze eigenlijk gewoon wil gedomineerd worden en de slaaf worden van een man die het beter weet dan de vrouwtjes.

Tarl wil ze natuurlijk bevrijden, maar het is ingewikkeld. Want hij wil ze niet alleen bevrijden, hij wil ook dat zij wil dat hij haar bevrijdt. Dat ze toegeeft dat ze als vrouw ondergeschikt is aan hem als man. Maar dat wil zij dan niet toegeven, terwijl ze het eigenlijk wel wil. Wheels within wheels.

Maar goed. Behalve dat het uiteraard totaal onverdedigbaar is in het Huidig Tijdsgewricht, en dat John Norman maar blijft worldbuilding in ons gezicht smijten, is het eigenlijk wel een onderhoudend boek. Beter dan het vorige. Ik geef het 3 sterren op 5, mostly harmless maar iets beter dan het eerste boek. ( )

I'm wondering if I might have been a little hasty in questioning this authors writing style last time. It seems to me that there are too few authors that make you want to immediately start the next book and in fact almost instill in you an intense desire to read them all as quickly as possible just so that you can begin again from the start. The funny thing is, it's clearly not just me and neither is it just male readers either. I've read many reviews that close with something along the lines of 'Jesus, WTF? but I'm definitely going to read the next one straight away.', or something to that effect anyway. I'm thinking it may be something to do with the simplistic writing style and that isn't meant as a criticism but rather as a compliment. It's extremely effective in drawing you into the story and you find you simply can't put the book down. It's a very deceptive style and one which works almost too well.

Excellent stuff, especially given the fact that it really shouldn't be! ( )

ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature.

Outlaw of Gor is the second novel in John Norman's cult classic Gorean Saga. After languishing on Earth for seven years, Tarl Cabot is finally returned to the Counter-Earth where he hopes to find his father and the woman he loves. Instead, he finds that things are not at all as he left them. After a bit of roaming, he winds up in a city he's never been to before and gets tangled up in a battle of the sexes.

Tarl Cabot is a bit like Richard Rahl — effortlessly subduing evil, fighting oppression, and spreading nobility wherever he goes. He loves and serves his fellow man ("How could I be free when others are bound?"). He spends a lot of time talking about how he reveres women and hates those Gorean cultures which capture women and consider them useful only as pleasure slaves.

Yet, for all of Tarl's assurances that he's a feminist, it's a bit hard to swallow when his only descriptions of the women he meets are their stunning beauty and how he admires their spirit. (Spirit is shown by a woman saying things like "No, never!" to men who want to subdue her.)

And the reader knows it's just a matter of time before one of these beautiful and spirited women, with her dress ripped to shreds, will be on her knees with her arms raised and wrists crossed and begging Tarl to enslave her. Even women who were previously powerful are anxious to know if Tarl finds them beautiful and pleasing and when he insists that he doesn't want to purchase them, they pout. He buys one of them as "an act of sentiment"! (There is no sex of any sort in these books so far, by the way.)

This is all fine for a little bit of fun and fantasy roleplay, but when Tarl suggests that women don't really want freedom, but actually want to be men's full-time pleasure slaves.... that's a little much for me. One ruling woman says that slave girls have it better because their skimpy clothes are easier to walk around in. Okay, I'll give her that point, but when she says that being chained is the only way that many women can learn to love...? And that she really would rather be a slave than to take up her former ruling position?... yeah, right.

Tarl goes on to explain why matriarchies don't work: men lose their self-respect and then the women lose respect for the self-loathing men and "hating their men, they hate themselves." This is a point I'm willing to consider, but he goes too far with his next point: "I have wondered sometimes if a man to be a man must not master a woman. And if a woman, to be a woman, must not know herself mastered." Unfortunately, "mastered" seems to mean that men are free and ruling and women are collared, leashed, scantily clad, and serving and dancing for men. How can Tarl Cabot, the feminist, justify this? Easily: the women say they like it this way.

But for all of this, I must admit that I've got a strange fascination with this series and I plan to read the next book. However I think that it wouldn't work for me if I was reading it in print instead of listening to it on audio. I believe that it's the reader, Ralph Lister, who manages to "fix" what otherwise I'd read as just plain sexist masculine fantasy. Lister gives Tarl a voice that's innocent and enthusiastic enough to deceive me into believing that he's not really as shallow as he demonstrates that he is.

I first met Tarl Cabot at a small liberal arts college in New Hampshire, where we had both accepted first year teaching appointments.

There were many things supposedly strange about Tharna, among them that she was reportrdly ruled by a queen, or Tatrix, and, reasonably enough in the circumstances, that the position of women in that city, in constrast with common Gorean custom, was one of provilege and opportunity.

I rejoiced that in at least one city on Gor the free women were not expected to wear Robes of Concealment, confine their activities largely to their own quarters, and speak only to their blood relatives and, eventually, the Free Companion.

I thought that much of the barbarity of Gor might perhaps be traced to this foolish suppression of the fair sex, whose gentleness and intelligence might have made such a contribution in softening her harsh ways.
