A Canticle for Leibowitz/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anvilicious: Surprisingly averted, especially given the focus on the Catholic Church.
  • Genius Bonus: The story contains a lot of references to Church dogma which are clearer if the reader has a good working knowledge of Catholicism (and Judaism). Likewise, the use of dead languages.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: The fate of Benjamin (and his true nature) is left unclear, as is that of Rachel.
