Back To Authors Page Home Author Review: Stephen R. Donaldson (1947 – Present) Review Written By: Alan Biography Writing Style Body of Work Stephen R. Donaldson Links Biography Born in Cleveland in 1947, Donaldson spent his youth (from four till sixteen) living in India, where his father worked with lepers. He has a B.A. from the College of Wooster (Ohio) and an M.A. in English from Kent State University. During the Vietnam War he was a conscientious objector and spent two years doing hospital work in Akron, Ohio. His publishing debut was in 1977 with the first Thomas Covenant trilogy. He received the prestigious John W. Campbell award as the best new science fiction writer of 1978. Back To Authors Page Home Top Writing Style In my opinion, Donaldson is the only fantasy writer that I have read who surpasses J. R. R. Tolkien. The Thomas Covenant books are based on a rich, solidly developed mythology. The setting for these novels is not overly complex, which makes it easy to keep track of the myths that drive the people of "The Land." Donaldson writes in a formal style, but less formal than Tolkien. While I would not rate his books an easy afternoon read, they are thoroughly enjoyable. His character development is rich and deep. Although I have not read the Gap series, I understand that it is also very well written. Digger has read the Mordant's Need books and recommends them. But beware...the main characters of Donaldson's novels are anti-heroes. They are dark, flawed human beings that are difficult to love. This does not mean they aren't fascinating to read about. It just means it is difficult to develop empathy for them. Donaldson explores many dark and depressing themes (like leprosy and rape) in his novels. But if you can get past the depressing subject matter, his books are thoroughly enjoyable because they are so well crafted. His plots are well thought out and don't contain holes that require a reader to fill in the blanks.

Stephen Donaldsson Biography Stephen R. Donaldson was born in Cleveland on May 13, 1947 to James R. Donaldson, a medical missionary, and Mary Ruth Reeder, a prosthetist. From the age of four to sixteen, he lived in India where his father worked with lepers. Mr. Donaldson earned his B.A. degree in 1968 from the College of Wooster (Ohio) and his M.A. in English from Kent State University in 1971. Mr. Donaldson's major work to date, the two trilogies called the first and second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, has been a best seller in hardback and paperback editions and as book club selections, and it has been published in England and translated into several languages. The first series was awarded the first prize of the British Science Fiction Society in 1977-1978, and Mr. Donaldson received the John W. Campbell Award as the best new science fiction writer of 1978. He has also published the "Mordant's Need" books, the "Gap" series, a number of short stories and, under the pseudonym Reed Stephens, three detective novels. In terms of quality and significance, the work of Stephen Donaldson has been compared to the "Narnia" series of C.S. Lewis, the "Middle-Earth" stories of J.R.R. Tolkien, and Frank Herbert's "Dune" trilogy.

27. Stephen R. Donaldson, An Attempt At A Biography stephen R. donaldson, the Master Born in 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio, stephen R. donaldson makes his publishing debut with the Covenant Trilogy. http://theland.antgear.com/donaldson.html

Stephen R. Donaldson, the Master ... at one time he had been a kind of golden boy. He had been happily married. He had had a son. He had written a novel in ecstasy and ignorance, and had watched it spend a year on the best-seller lists. And because of it, he now had all the money he needed. Lord Foul's Bane       The things I don't know about Stephen R. Donaldson could fill up my 50 megabytes on this server and then some. How an active author as prolific, popular and acknowledged by his peers as Mr Donaldson could maintain such a low profile in our modern age is curious, and must certainly be the result of a conscious effort. It's a refreshing approach from the standard media-hype angle of fantasy authors with a tenth of the talent, but it also leaves the appreciative reader wondering about the person whose literary accomplishment just rocked their world.       The About the Author blurbs in the back of my paperbook editions of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant seem to compete with each other to provide the least amount of information while still justifying their existence. Witness Lord Foul's Bane: Born in 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio

Donaldson Del Rey (New York): 1977. Paperback: 480 pages. ISBN: Subject/Genre: fantasy Suggested retail price: $6.99 (US) Tactical strength: Buy Lord Foul's Bane Trade paperback Donaldson creates one of the most complete and unique fantasy worlds especially for a first novelthat in itself keeps you reading just to learn more about the world's history and characters. Donaldson also chooses one of the most unique main characters: a middle-aged man named Thomas Covenant. On 20th-Century Earth, Covenant has leprosy, over which his wife divorces him and the local town shuns him. Covenant has lost two fingers on his right hand and lost most of his tactile sense. On a trip into town, Covenant encounters a beggar who asks him if a man transported to another world believes he is dreaming and does nothing to preserve himself is that man cowardly or courageous? Then, Covenant finds himself transported to another world ("the Land") where his nerves regenerate and he can "see" the health of the Land and its inhabitants, including plants and animals. Covenant believes that he is dreaming his experiences in the Land and never really thinks much about the message from the beggar. If Covenant truly believes that he is dreaming, then he should not really care about the consequences of his actions. And many use this argument to explain Covenant raping Lena, a 15-year-old girl at the start of Covenant's adventures in the Land. But Donaldson never has Covenant really ponder the issue of morals. Covenant does come to regret raping Lena, but somehow Covenant believes that he must not give up his leprosy survival skills or he will not be able to survive when he wakes up. So the message from the beggar plays no critical role in Covenant's actions or in the conclusion of this book's plot.

Next Page (Umberto Eco) Previous Page (Philip Dick) Donaldson, Stephen R. Series: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever Lord Foul's Bane The Illearth War The Power That Preserves Series: The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever The Wounded Land The One Tree White Gold Wielder I don't know what else I can say about this series that hasn't already been said in the full-length review that I posted to rec.arts.sf.written. This is truly a landmark series in the genre, as much so as was "Lord of the Rings" in my opinion. If my review doesn't convince you to read it, then read the review again and reconsider. This series had a big impact on my whole view of SF/F. The way I see it...there are two basic rules to Strongly Recommended works (books or movies): Everyone has one. Virtually everyone it is recommended to is disappointed. Well, "Covenant" is my cross to bear. As for my most recommended movie, it's a tossup between "Caddyshack" and "Raising Arizona" I suppose, but then there's "Tron" and "Excalibur" and "Running on Empty" and ... hmmm, maybe I need to write another reviews page. Series: Mordant's Need The Mirror of Her Dreams (8 r) A Man Rides Through (8 r) Another great work by Donaldson, but not close to the magnitude of his achievement with Covenant. This tells the story of another anti-hero, Terisa, who is drawn from the "real world" into a world of magic and mirrors, politics and death. It's an engrossing story, and I definitely recommend it, but read Covenant first.
