Elizabeth Sandifer (in-universe)

Sandifer was one of the various philosophers and essayists discussed by F.I.D.O during his talks with Graelyn Scythes during the seventeen years Graelyn spent in Auteur's Town.

F.I.D.O had a positive view of Sandifer, believing Neoreaction a Basilisk was an "important work", but believed that her influence on pop-culture criticism in the 2000s was of some concern. (PROSE: White Canvas)
