Timstar Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Very sad news about Jack Vance http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/may/30/jack-vance-dies-96-science-fiction Only read a few of his books so far but really enjoyed them, quite a few more on my TBR pile. A tremendously influential writer in science-fiction with a terrific signature prose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I thought he had died years ago! I had a friend at Uni who was a huge Jack Vance fan. I've never read any of his books myself but I always remember them for having yellow spines, for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Interesting book focused obituary that seems to act as a good introduction to his works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
