Every time I’ve read the name of this “Barsoomian,” I can’t help but think of ERB’s A Princess of Mars and “Barsoom,” which is his name for Mars, which, in turn, makes me think of the movie that didn’t do well at the box office a few years ago, but was so interesting because of the representation of those 3 characters that could shape shift into anyone and pour the proverbial honey down anyone in power ears’ whether it be king, princess general, etc to acquire their own ends. Barsoom. John Carter of Mars. Treason on Mars. Treason on Earth. Anyway, Happy Monday. WWG1WGA

wiki:A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It was first serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine from February–July, 1912. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
