Jack Vance: Lord of Language, Emperor of Dreams
by Nick Gevers With the Vance Integral Edition (VIE - for full details see the foot of this page), a complete library of the superb works of Jack Vance, now in the process of being compiled, a retrospective consideration of Vance's remarkable career may be useful. This is one reader's view, a necessarily brief and summary glimpse of one of modern literature's great panoramas of the fantastic. AN OVERVIEW Fifty years have passed since the publication of Jack Vance's first book, The Dying Earth . Then and in the decades since, Vance, a peripatetic, outgoing, jazz-loving Californian, has regaled and enriched SF and Fantasy with, among many other wonders, the following:
  • The Dying Earth, an Earth of two billion years hence, where a moribund red sun wanly illuminates the baroque savagery of feuding wizards, guileful monsters, and glib tricksters;
  • Big Planet, where countless communities of often murderous eccentrics live in scattered profusion, rich in perverse villainy;
  • Pao, whose innumerable fatalistic peasants are being remade through re-engineering of the very language they speak;

Jack Vance: Portrait of the Artist as a Mad Poet
I know this is an inauspicious way to begin an essay on a favorite author; even so, I wish to express my most profound apologies to Mr Vance for what follows. You see, I am about to indulge in a practice that writers of fiction abhor, but that their readers can not resist. Worse, I am about to do it in public. This heinous practice is called "Looking for the Author in His Characters." While any authors who may be reading this recover their poise, I'll take a moment to explain to my fellow readers why this practice is so roundly detested by the professional fiction writer. In the course of a long career, a writer will invent countless fictional characters of varying viewpoints. The operative word is "fictional". You wouldn't think that would need much explanation, so it is surprising how often authors are assumed to endorse the views expressed by their characters, no matter how wild or improbable. As they say in Dogpatch, "it ain't necessarily so." On the other hand, however, 'tain't necessarily not so, neither!

11. A Visit To Jack Vance
Jack Vance is my favorite writer. What follows is an essay I which Jack was Guest of Honor. A Visit to Jack Vance. by Joe Bergeron.
http://homepage.mac.com/joebergeron/jackvance.html
Jack Vance is my favorite writer. What follows is an essay I wrote which was published in one of the progress reports for Magicon, the Orlando World Science Fiction Convention in 1992, at which Jack was Guest of Honor. A Visit to Jack Vance by Joe Bergeron When I was a dreamy teenager I picked up the Lancer edition of The Dying Earth and was immediately lost in its sensual pleasures. While it became one of my favorite books, for some reason I didn't read any other Vance for a long time. I had the feeling that in The Dying Earth I had read Vance's masterpiece, and that anything else must inevitably be a disappointment. Luckily for that benighted boy, in 1980 my friend Terry Sisk (Graybill) acquainted me with books like the Demon Princes and Tschai series. I became a Vance collector, reading and loving everything I could find. I tried my hand at Vance-related art, but an early painting based on The Dying Earth failed to satisfy me. I desisted until Araminta Station appeared in 1987. My painting of Glawen and Sessily seemed good enough that I thought Jack Vance himself might be interested in seeing it. I wrote to him and included a photograph of the painting. He replied with a hand-written letter of praise. Encouraged, I wrote a longer letter that talked about his writing. He answered that if I was ever in his area I should come and stay at his house (my emphasis)! I'd been looking for an excuse/opportunity to visit Oakland for some time, there to visit a female of distinctly Vancean charm. The thought of combining that mission with a visit to Jack Vance was irresistible.

      Matt Hughes reports that "Jack Vance" is used as a teaser on the Locus website for the May issue. It's also mentioned in the table of contents, "with news in this issue about Jack Vance, George R.R. Martin, ..." The news is a single line of text in "Books Delivered": "Jack Vance finished Lurulu for Beth Meacham at Tor ." (Ed note: I'm not complaining; he got top billing!) In the same issue, Matthew Hughes ' novelette "A Little Learning" got a nice mention by Nick Gevers: "Matthew Hughes Archonate novelette, "A Little Learning", is the essence of fanciful extravagance, the tale of a resourceful apprentice magician tracing some of the more dangerous routes through the human noosphere; this amorphous terrain ... all drawn by Hughes with an orotund gusto reminiscent of - who else? - Jack Vance ."

16. Kvinnorna I Jack Vances Böcker
Kvinnorna i jack Vances b¶cker en analys.
http://www.lysator.liu.se/lsff/mb-nr30/Kvinnorna_i_Jack_Vances_bcker.html
Kvinnorna i Jack Vances böcker
Andreas Björklind Hjältarna i Jack Vances berättelser är utan undantag män eller pojkar. Kvinnorna finns förstås där och de spelar en mycket intressant roll i de fängslande sagor Vance spinner. Följande analys av kvinnornas roll i Vances arbete är en oambitiös exposé, en ofärdig tanke. Jag har funderat över ämnet under några år och känner mig nu mogen att vika ut texten en smula och dela med mig av tankarna. Om du har egna tankar kring detta kanske vi kan starta en debatt här i Månblad Alfa, eller kanske kan du skriva en egen artikel. En detalj som jag tidigt upptäckte i Vances berättelser är att sexuella handlingar är dolda under lager av omskrivningar eller implicerade händelser. På sitt vanliga mycket skickliga sätt beskriver Vance sexuella skeenden med ett språk som jag inte normalt kopplar ihop med sex-scener. Det underförstådda är så långt vi kan komma från Harlekin-böckernas övertydligt dolda snusk. Vances beskrivningar är kanske de mest erotiska i genren. Det är just att han inte tydliggör alla handlingar, skymtar eller tankar som gör hans beskrivningar kittlande och fantasieggande. Intima relationer är inte strikt heterosexuella i Vances berättelser, men känslorna sprirar oftast nästan uteslutande mellan den manliga huvudpersonen och en kvinna. Män umgås ofta på ett broderlig sätt. Man sjunger ärorika sånger och dricker vin tillsammans. Det är en gamla tiders ridderlig broderskärlek som råder mellan männen i Vances världar. Män är män, de goda är goda och de onda är onda. På ytan kan det verka svart och vitt, men under finns en dold nivå av psykologiska skeenden och personligheter som växer och förändras.

Science-Fiction and Fantasy Books by Jack Vance
This is a brief discussion of Jack Vance and, of course, of some books by Jack Vance.
This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Vance; it includes those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark ( ) before the' title so you know what's what.)
I don't pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Vance tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Vance worthy; in sum, to help you rank Vance (and the works by Vance listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.

S F Survival of people marooned on a sea world and resisting the native population. An old master re-issued, this is one of Jack Vance's best works and it deserves the accolade of 'they don't write them like this anymore.' A very true statement considering some of the rubbish that is published today under the name of Science Fiction! Maybe the prime reason why publishers go for old fiction is that it is a damn sight better than what's on offer today. In giving the people what they want, it's necessary to go back in time to the Golden Age. Anyway, that's what some people think. Of course, authors could write such stuff today only they don't. Why not? Because it's been written before and only something very special will be able to rise above the sea of mediocrity which now exists. Would it be wrong to say that Science Fiction as a genre is time bound in nature, probably between the 30s and late 60s, and anything else is probably something else but in a different genre?
