  • An Interviewwithroger Zelazny
    No. 43 December 1972 An Interview With Roger Zelazny (You have asked me to step outside myself, then turn around and interview me. Okay. I’m outside now. I’ll stop right there and start questioning him.) “Tell me about yourself, Z.” “I was born on May 13, 1937 and received my B.A. from Western Reserve University in 1959. I attended Columbia for graduate work and received my M.A. there in 1962, in English and Comparative Literature. For a little over seven years, from early 1962 to early 1969, I worked for the Social Security Administration as a claims representative in Ohio and, in the final four, as a claims policy specialist in the SSA Centred Office here in Baltimore. I have a wife (Judy) and a son (Devin).” “Wait a minute, Z. We just passed a whole generation of psychoanalytic critics and biographers awhile back. What about childhood trauma and all that crap?” “I believe a piece of writing should be considered of, in, by, and for itself, a thing independent of the person who wrote it.” “But you are talking to me. I know where you got that. You wrote nothing but poetry for years—after you got out of high school and started college—and you got hung up on the New Criticism: close textual analysis, and the hell with the guy who wrote it. A touch of end-of-the-century decadence, too. The Symbolists, Firbank... But you were a Psychology major until your final year. You know that writing is a form of bahavior, and as such it invariably bears the mark of its executor.” “Of course.” “So tell us about your childhood hangups.” “No.” “Why not?” “Because I’m a bug on privacy.” “Shyness?” “Some, I suppose.

Od ostale tri izdvajala se ponajpre po tome što je izišla u zemlji u kojoj se to nije očekivalo – zemlji koja je poslovično oskudevala u enciklopedijskim izdanjima. Pre dve decenije, ova knjiga predstavljala je prerani luksuz. Prirodno bi bilo da se pojavila na kraju niza, pošto su prethodno svetlost dana ugledale enciklopedije koje nesumnjivo imaju prvenstvo, a pre svega nacionalna. Ovde se, međutim, prirodni tok retko uvažavao, a ja nisam mogao da čekam da se moji sunarodnici nakane da upriliče sve važnije enciklopedije, pa da tek onda priložim svoju. Enciklopediju sam mogao da napišem – to sada, kada su mi šezdeset dve godine, jasno razabirem – samo u jednom razdoblju života, dok su mi godine počinjale broj- kom tri.

Campinas, 2006. 151 págs. Dissertação (Mestrado em História e Teoria Literária) - Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. A ficção científica é um gênero literário derivado da utopia, e sua consolidação ocorreu no século XIX. O homem como figura representativa do gênero teve seu processo de desenvolvimento iniciado no período clássico. A noção da essência humana adquirida pelo homem antigo culminou na evolução do indivíduo que emerge no Renascimento, caminhando para o individualismo do mundo moderno. As tragédias gregas representaram um homem em ebulição tentando conquistar seu espaço no aspecto universal, e como homem de estado. No Renascimento, surge o homem virtú: o fecundador do mundo, aquele que se descobre como indivíduo, portanto volta-se à coletividade, projetando a arquitetura das cidades, e planejando a organização social. O Renascimento foi um período áureo em que o desenvolvimento e a liberdade de construção auxiliavam sem negar valores morais.

LROC has made impressive gains in the GOP." • Reynold Schweickhardt, President of the California Republican League (a major GOP activist group): "[ am excited and impressed with LROC's commitment to principle and un­ yielding supportfor libertarian ideals." • Paul Weyrich, President of the Free Congress Foundation, tried to contain his excitement about being called a "new fascist" by LROC: "You forgot to mention that as a member ofthe Board ofGovernors ofAMTRAK, [ also make the trains run on time." How could any dedicated libertarian activist NOT get excited at the prospect of bringing libertarian principles into the political mainstream? Because, as a libertarian, you know that principles are more important than votes; recruiting new libertarians is more important than creating illusions; and electing principled, hard-core libertarians to Congress and state legisla­ tures is more important than maintaining principled invisibility., Whether you subscribe or not, you're going to hear a lot more about libertarian Republicans: running for office, in the media, and at the GOP National Convention this summer.· Subscribe today for a mere $20 a year and receive two extra issues free. iiiliiiiliililil iliil iliili!iiliiliiiliilililiililiiilllllillilimilililililliliiliiliiliil r----------------------------------------__I'm excited.
