	ZELAZNY, Roger - personal data
		Roger Zelazny was born on the southern shores of Lake Erie in a Depression choked Cleveland, Ohio, where he would recall gas stamps and food tokens, the death of FDR, and daily newspaper battle maps of WW II along with comic strips of Tarzan fighting Nazis.
		Zelazny's popularity quickly rose along with his sales and at some point, Roger was encouraged to quit his day job and become a full time writer in 1969.
		Zelazny was one of the finest writers in his chosen field, working well in all lengths and in both fantasy and science fiction disciplines.

	Roger Zelazny
		Roger Joseph Zelazny was born in Euclid, Ohio on May 13, 1937.
		Although Zelazny was much lauded for his part in introducing new styles of narrative into science fiction, as well as greater depth and literary merit, he was criticized in later years for having drifted toward a kind of mediocrity, producing well-written adventure stories of little originality.
		Zelazny is survived by his sons Trent and Devin, his daughter, Shannon, estranged second wife Judy Callahan, and his companion Jane Lindskold.

	Author Biography for Roger Zelazny
		Roger Zelazny died June 14, 1995, survived by his three children and his companion, novelist Jane Lindskold.
		Roger and I met through letters, starting with brief, formal notes which evolved into long, rambling novellas that required several stamps and stressed the carrying capacity of an envelope.
		Roger's daily entries would often begin with a weather report and I fell into a similar habit so that, despite distance, we had a strong sense of proximity.

	Roger Zelazny
		Zelazny often liked to work the mythology of various cultures into his books: Navajo folklore found its way into Eye of Cat, Egyptian deities were featured in Creatures of Light and Darkness, and Lord of Light was based on the Hindu pantheon.
		All I know of Roger Zelazny as a person is what he revealed of himself in his work; and that, perhaps, is as it should be.
		The humanity of Zelazny's immortals is intense, and is most vividly portrayed in what I feel to be his finest novel, Isle of the Dead, first published in 1969.

	Roger Zelazny
		Roger Zelazny made his name with a group of novellas which demonstrated just how intense an emotional charge could be generated by the stock imagery of sf; the most famous of these is 'A Rose for Ecclesiastes' in which a poet struggles to convince dying and sterile Martians that life is worth continuing.
		Zelazny continued to write excellent short stories throughout his career, which share the inventiveness of these early novellas, but lack some of their intensity.
		Zelazny never entirely fulfilled his early promise--who could?--but he and his work were much loved, and a potent influence on such younger writers as George RR Martin and Neil Gaiman.

		Zelazny was one of the most important writers of the New Wave of science fiction along with Philip K.
		Zelazny briefly enlisted with the Ohio National Guard and then worked for the Social Security Administration in Cleveland, Ohio, and Baltimore, Maryland.
		Zelazny's interest in magic, myths and dreams are already at present in these early stories which are considered among his best works.

	Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light
		I first came across the strangely named Roger Zelazny in 1973-4, when I borrowed a friend's copy of "The Science Fiction Hall Of Fame," which is composed of short stories published in the pre-Nebula era.
		So this is a good occasion to look back on a piece of classic science fiction by a well regarded author: Zelazny died in 1995 as a result of cancer, but won six Hugos during his writing career.
		The writing is nothing like the style which Zelazny used in his short stories; indeed, the entire novel uses a mode of description which mimics the Hindu and Buddhist holy writings.

		Roger Joseph Zelazny (May 13, 1937 - June 14, 1995) was a writer of fantasy and science fiction short stories and novels.
		The theme also recurs in Roadmarks and Doorways in the Sand (in the latter, the main character's parents are dead but his uncle fills the role of the "absent father").
		Once the scene is established, the narrator backtracks to the events leading up to it, then follows through to the end of the chapter, whereupon the next chapter jumps ahead to another dramatic non-sequitur.

		Characteristically brilliant and bold, Roger Zelazny’s first novel is a wonderful fusion of myth, legend, adventure and political manoeuvring.
		Stylistically radical, charming and optimistic, it shows Zelazny at the very peak of his powers and clearly demonstrates why his impact on SF was so great.
		Roger Zelazny's first published story was 'Passion Play' which appeared in Amazing Stories in 1962, the same year he graduated from Columbia with his MA.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #18: Roger Zelazny
		Roger Zelazny's work is more recent than that of most of the authors I've been reviewing.
		Zelazny's books tend to be mixtures of science fiction, fantasy, and mythology.
		It is typical of Zelazny that there is room, in odd corners of this gone-to-seed world, for elements of Greek mythology to coexist with visitors from other stars.

	Visions of Paradise: Roger Zelazny
		In 1965, Zelazny abruptly became the most important science fiction writer in America with the publication of three award-winning stories which showcased three different aspects of his talent.
		While Zelazny claimed to not be a New Wave writer (just as Delany also claimed), it was his ability to combine traditional science fiction, fantasy, adventure, and deep emotions, with mainstream writing skills that made him a favorite of the New Wave and exerted considerable influence on other science fiction writers.
		Instead, Roger Zelazny died in 1995 at the relatively young age of 58.

		The late Roger Zelazny was inarguably one of science fiction and fantasy's luminaries.
		Perhaps best known to most fans for his 10-volume Amber series, he was also a master of short stories and novellas, one of the finest authors to put pen to paper in service to these forms.
		Zelazny managed, with an economy of words and pages, to paint entire fascinating worlds, develop intricate plots and deliver fully rounded characters.

		For some reason it is easier to forgive Roger Zelazny for writing bad books in his later career - in particular the second Amber series which are internally inconsistent and transform some of the best developed characters of the first series into cardboard cut-outs; and also his awfully feeble comic collaborations with Robert Sheckley.
		Even so one feels that even at his worst, Zelazny was still writing to please himself, and was surprised and gratified that others shared his enjoyment of his own work, whereas Adams wrote as if he was trying to be funny (and succeeded with his first books but failed with the later ones).
		And finally, Zelazny's later writings were not uniformly as bad as those singled out for criticism above: A Night in the Lonesome October works really well; his short fiction won three Hugo awards in the 1980s.

		In Japan, since "Damnation Alley" was published in '72', many of Zelazny's works, "The doors of his face, The lamps of his mouth", "This Immortal", "Lord of Light" have been introduced to the Japanese sci-fi fan.
		Unfortunately, the late 70's to 80's were a golden age of Zelazny's publication in Japan.
		I believe that Zelazny tried to describe "Life and Will" in "Lord of Light", which is the best novel of his younger age.

		On the face of it, this collaborative novel sounds perfect: Zelazny has always had one of the most inventive imaginations in the genre, and in his prime Sheckley was a brilliant humorist and one of sf's finest short-story writers.
		From the pen of famous science fiction author Roger Zelazny, this title is a non-linear science fiction game that allows players to roam freely throughout time-frozen worlds far in the future, when the human race has achieved several technological milestones.
		The clever twists on the Faust legend are worthy of the Zelazny mid-'60s, and the comic juxtapositions of the cosmic and the mundane are vintage Sheckley.

		The guide is interspersed with fl and white paintings by Todd Cameron Hamilton, and there is an entire section of trumps and character descriptions, featuring Hamilton's work.
		I asked a few select hardcore fans who've read most of Zelazny's works to give ratings for as many of his books and stories as possible.

		I found a paperback copy of Roger Zelazny's Creatures of Light and Darkness at the College Hill Bookstore on Thayer Street in Providence, Rhode Island sometime in the mid-nineteen-seventies.
		The entire book is a tour-de-force that in itself places Roger Zelazny as one of the truly great writers of the 20th century.
		Unfortunately, for me anyway, by the 1980's Zelazny was grinding out sword and sorcery trivia in his Amber series.
