Oh, nice call. For years I've wanted a venue to discuss in the ways in which Mary Gentle's Ash: A Secret History (2000) changes genres as it goes—it begins as historical fiction, passes through historical fantasy and alternate history, and ends as hard science fiction. What other books and films would you include?
[edit] Derp: the way A Canterbury Tale (1944) starts like a mystery and then ends like a mystery.
As ever, an insightful review.
Thank you. It was a really interesting movie. It felt transitional.
