	Robert Silverberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Silverberg (January 15, 1935, Brooklyn, New York) is a prolific American author best known for writing science fiction, a multiple winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
		Thus inspired, Silverberg returned to writing, paying far more attention to depth of character and social background than he had in the past and mixing in elements of the modernist literature he had studied at Columbia.
		Silverberg was tired after years of high production; he also suffered stresses from a thyroid malfunction and a major house fire.

	Quasi-Official Robert Silverberg Home
		Nevertheless, quasi-official though it may be, this is still Jon's Silverberg site, not Robert Silverberg's, and to him should go all applause for its comprehensiveness and elegance of design, as well as all responsibility for anything that I would just as soon not take responsibility for myself.
		Robert Silverberg is a writer who constantly amazes me. Since the mid-1960s he has produced an incredible body of work.
		And most of all, thanks to Robert Silverberg for writing it all in the first place, and for his support and encouragement.

	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		Silverberg: Well, not any more, but I certainly did in the '70s, when I was writing books like The Book of Skulls and Son of Man and Dying Inside, and stories like "Born with the Dead." There were times when I felt almost a hostility from the audience, from the readers.
		Silverberg: Oh, after so many years and so many stories, the only secret that you need to know is the secret of getting yourself over to the chair and putting the seat of your pants in it.
		Silverberg: Oh, I think the Internet is. I remember when color television came around, for example, the CD and the atomic bomb, that was not a cool invention at all, but it was an important one.

	Robert Silverberg's Majipoor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Silverberg uses some of his creative powers in describing variety in the landscape, (or sometimes in the seascape) and in the animals and plants that inhabit it.
		Silverberg said (in the interview cited above, with Freund, Datlow, and McCoy) that "I knew that Lord Valentine's Castle needed a sequel to deal with the problem of the disgruntled Shapeshifters." He said the same thing in other interviews.
		Clearly Silverberg understands, as some authors of fantastic fiction do not, (No less than Tolkien, a faithful Roman Catholic, has been accused of this) that religion plays an important part, often positive, sometimes not, in the lives of people, and this should be reflected even in fantastic worlds.

	Legends edited by Robert Silverberg - an infinity plus review
		In the introduction to Legends, editor Robert Silverberg likens fantasy fiction to the great epic poems of antiquity--Gilgamesh, The Odyssey, etc.--and speculates that a timeless tradition of fantasy storytelling stretches back to the time of our cave-dwelling ancestors and finds its modern avatar in bestselling fantasy series.
		Silverberg neglects to mention that most of these stories would be unrecognizable as fantasy by its 1990s audience.
		Two stories, the ones by Robert Silverberg and Anne McCaffrey, are technically science-fiction, but belong to the sub-genre of planetary romance, where, once on whatever far away planet the adventure is set on, the trappings of commercial fantasy assert themselves.

	Robert Silverberg
		Science fiction and fantasy author Robert Silverberg is known for such novels as Dying Inside, Son of Man, and Lord Valentine's Castle.
		This suggestion opened the door to the transition from Silverberg the commercial writer to Silverberg the artist, a transition that allowed him to enthusiastically dabble in complex, unconventional tales that were often dark and philosophical.
		And while Silverberg prides himself on the ability to create vivid new realities, to "show people wonders", he acknowledges that it is his knack for staying focused on a project and see it quickly to its conclusion that has brought him his enviable freedom.

	Amazon.com: STARBORNE (Bantam Spectra Book): Books: Robert Silverberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Silverberg writes compelling prose, flocked with lovely imagery, as always, but this novel falls far short of Geoffrey Ryman's more elegiac and transcendent pieces using similar themes.
		This book borrows heavily from Robert Heinlein's fine juvenile Time for the Stars, which also features one half of a pair of identical twins who communicate telepathically in order to keep their star-going vessel in contact with earth.
		Silverberg pays homage to the literary greats and the classics but is not once deflected from the joyful thrust of extraplanetary, superluminary SF.

		It may be good business - cash returns is a consideration as Silverberg himself correctly stated in his introduction to "The Conglomeroid Cocktail Party" - but its simplicity does leave a whiff of sour taste in your mouth.
		For a fresh reader with no past in Silverberg reading this may mean little, of course; for the large number of experienced Silverberg readers that do appreciate his excellent art in the world of science fiction it is bad morale.
		And let us hope that the publisher and Silverberg himself may at some point come to re-evaluate publishing policies and choose to show timely restraint and not go on blindly refurbishing the past short stories into future novels.

		Silverberg gives us plenty to think about and the story is well written and moves well.
		Silverberg, a very knowledgeable student of history, fills the narrative with considerable by-the-way Byzantine history and takes the opportunity to poke fun at the mores of the mid-21st century.
		Silverberg made ancient Byzantium come alive for me, and sparked a whole line of discovery and amazement after I had finished the book.

	Robert Silverberg OmniVisions Interview
		Jim Freund: For most, Robert Silverberg needs no introduction, but suffice it to say that he has written over 100 sf books, 60 non-fiction titles, and over 100 other novels under pseudonyms.
		That one story not only works for me as sf/horror, but I think it strikes at the male soul--the desire to palm off some bad sexual behavior on other 'uncontrollable' traits that we're unwilling to acknowledge exist within ourselves.
		Other stories of Silverberg's that have similarly stayed with are "When We Went to See the End of the World", "To See the Invisible Man", and "The Pope of the Chimps".

	Robert Silverberg's Science Fiction 101
		The book is a collection of those short stories from the 1950s primarily which Silverberg chose to highlight high quality short SF from his early days as a tyro writer.
		Each of the stories is followed by a length lit crit in which Silverberg identifies the key components which make the stories as good as they are.
		The story is highlighted though by the dreamlike sequence in Alpha Centauri, which gives a true Sense of Wonder, helped by the 'sound' of the pock-pock of the chronomoter clicking over, and the richness of the Centaurian language ('the clinesterton beademung').

		The quote on so many of his book covers ("Where Silverberg goes today, the rest of science fiction will go tomorrow!"–Isaac Asimov) is a simple observation based on repeated forays against the edges of the genre.
		He's won piles of awards, and if he hasn't hit the bestseller lists very often, it's not from lack of quality in his work.
