A man who has been writing and publishing science fiction for over a quarter of a century. A man whose prose style is so unique that a random paragraph taken out of almost any piece of science fiction or fantasy he has written is sufficient to identify itself as unmistakably the work of Jack Vance: In the first place, the Rhune is exquisitely sensitive to his landscapes of mountain, meadow, forest and sky — all changing with the changing modes of day. He reckons his land by its aesthetic appeal; he will connive a lifetime to gain a few choice acres. He enjoys pomp, protocol, heraldic minutiae; his niceties and graces are judged as carefully as the figures of a ballet. He prides himself on his collection of sherliken scales; or the emeralds which he has mined, cut, and polished with his own hands; or his Arah magic wheels, imported from halfway across the Gaean Reach. He will perfect himself in special mathematics, or an ancient language, or the lore of fanfares, or all three, or three other abstrusities. — Marune: Alastor 933, p. 41. Yet Jack Vance seems to be an invisible man. Academics have written at great length and Byzantine complexity about science fiction writers with a far less substantial body of work and far less stylistic interest than Jack Vance.

    YGW Girls’ Division Summer Reading Assignments Ninth Grade Read what interests you. Read two books from the list below and an additional book of your choice. Email Mrs. Cortell at [email protected] if you need help choosing titles that feel right for you. Keep an academic reading journal - a journal recording what you read, with an added layer of academic analysis. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it should be durable and comfortable to write in. A composition book, a hardbound diary, or Moleskine-style journal will give you plenty of space in a durable format. Write an entry for each book you read. Each entry should include: • A full bibliographic citation. MLA format required. (Author’s last name, First name. Book Title. City: Publisher, Year Published.) • A short (2-4 sentences) synopsis of the book, play, or short story. • Quotations from your reading. Copy any quotations that you would otherwise highlight or underline — anything that touches you or that you think captures some essential point in the text. You don’t have to do this as you read; if you prefer to highlight or underline as you go, just copy them down when you’re done. Make sure to record the page numbers. • A personal response to your reading. 200 or more words capturing your impressions of what you’ve read.
