A Spell For Chameleon (1977) About book: I saw A Spell for Chameleon on a shelving cart the other day and realized two things. First, that I'd read it before and enjoyed it, but had forgotten it completely. Second, that the author was Piers Anthony, who's been described as an outrageous sexist even among sci-fi/fantasy writers.

So I picked up a copy, for nostalgia's sake but also to see if Anthony was so bad (he couldn't be, right? I mean, I liked this before.). And after reading it again, all I can say is.HOW DID I MISS THIS? HOW?On the second page--second.

Page.--we get this:'Bink looked at the girl beside him as she stepped through the slanting sunbeam. He was no plant, but he too had needs, and even the most casual inspection of her made him aware of this. Sabrina was absolutely beautiful--and her beauty was completely natural. Other girls managed to enhance their appearance by cosmetics or padding or specialized spells, but beside Sabrina all other females looked somewhat artificial. She was no enemy!' Atrocious writing aside ('absolutely beautiful'--damn it, man, at least TRY), the whole thing oozes creepy pervert syndrome.

A female introduced by referring to her effect on the protagonist's penis? The emphasis on 'natural' beauty, as if it was some sort of personal accomplishment and not just the luck of the draw? Reference to undesirable women (i.e., those who've put on make-up/padding/whatever, aka artifices taken on to please men, how dare they) as the 'enemy'? Check.And that's just page 2.

Without spoiling anything, Chameleon's entire character presents problems. A lady centaur's recital of Xanth's history is interrupted with infantile comments about her boobies. Aforementioned Sabrina will not give up everything she knows & loves to follow Bink into exile, and therefore she doesn't love him enough (another example of childishness, but it also shows how Anthony views women as less than people, more like accessories). Every married woman is either a shrew or a dried-up husk.
