Le site tor.com a publié la suite de sa série d'articles sur Roger Zelazny (Le Cycle des Princes d'Ambre, Seigneur de lumière). La série, intitulée A Few Words, est réalisée par le biographe et ami de Roger Zelazny, Theodore Krulik.

 

L'article, qui est la cinquième partie de la série, se concentre sur les voyages dans l'espace, la cybernétique et les mystères de la science-fiction.

 

Voici un extrait de l'article que vous pouvez retrouver ici.

 

"When Roger wrote “A Rose for Ecclesiastes” and “The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth,” he was paying homage to the space operas he had read in his youth. But he infused the genre with his version of a protagonist who, while brilliant, was somehow incomplete.

Roger wanted Gallinger to reach emotional maturity on the old Mars that Burroughs envisioned; he wanted Davits to discover his self-respect on the oceans of Venus. In our 1982 interview, Roger discussed the urgency he felt in telling these stories at the time that he did."
