Everybody Loves a Winner
View through CrossRef
The chapter discusses Zelazny’s career from 1964 to 1968, the period that saw publication of most of the work that made his early reputation. The chapter argues that the short fiction of this period demonstrates Zelazny’s remarkably rapid mastery of his craft while establishing his reputation for lyrical and allusive prose. There is detailed discussion of Zelazny’s novels And Call Me Conrad and Lord of Light, which stand as early examples of his interest in recasting mythology and considering issues of rebellion and political violence. Analysis of these works is placed in the context of his increasingly high public profile within the science fiction community and strong reputation among fellow writers, culminating with his decision in 1969 to quit his day job and write full-time.
