Challenging convention with the SF nonconformistRoger Zelazny combined poetic prose with fearless literary ambition to become one of the most influential science fiction writers of the 1960s. Yet many critics found his later novels underachieving and his turn to fantasy a disappointment. F. Brett Cox surveys the landscape of Zelazny's creative life and contradictions. Launched by the classic 1963 short story 'A Rose for Ecclesiastes,' Zelazny soon won the Hugo Award for Best Novel with And Call Me Conrad and two years later won again for Lord of Light. Cox looks at the author's overnight success and follows Zelazny into a period of continued formal experimentation, the commercial triumph of the Amber sword and sorcery novels, and renewed acclaim for Hugowinning novellas such as 'Home Is the Hangman' and '24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai.' Throughout, Cox analyzes aspects of Zelazny's art, from his preference for poetically alienated protagonists to the ways his plots reflected his determined individualism.Cleareyed and detailed, Roger Zelazny provides an uptodate reconsideration of an oftenmisunderstood SF maverick.
