Donaldson “Long ago, she had done such things [as possession]: she knew now that they were violations as profound as any rape.” Against All Things Ending, pg. 26 Introduction Few readers of Stephen R. Donaldson have missed how thoroughly sexual violence inundates his work. Rape, or the threat of rape, appears in nearly every novel and short story— the protagonist of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever (1977–2013), for example, assaults a young woman early in Lord Foul’s Bane (1977); fantasies of sexual violence obsess Castellan Lebbick in Mordant’s Need (1986–1987), and the first novel in the five-volume Gap (1991–1996) sequence easily surpasses both series in terms of sexual violence. Moreover, as my epigraph suggests, similes involving rape abound. These ubiquitous references to sexual violence can dismay even Donaldson’s most ardent proponents—fan blogger Gavrielle Perry, for example, bluntly calls them “pretty damn disturbing.” At the same time, Perry also considers Donaldson a “scrupulously non-sexist” writer, someone in whom feminists can find much to champion.

  • Classic Manuscript
    “The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” Book Two Fatal Revenant What Has Gone Before © Stephen R. Donaldson 2007 This excerpt created from the final manuscript version of the book for the Stephen R. Donaldson official web site: http://www.StephenRDonaldson.com “The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” Book Two Fatal Revenant What Has Gone Before “The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” As a young man--a novelist, happily married, with an infant son, Roger--Thomas Covenant is inexplicably stricken with leprosy. In a leprosarium, where the last two fingers of his right hand are amputated, he learns that leprosy is incurable. As it progresses, it produces numbness, often killing its victims by leaving them unaware of injuries which have become infected. Medications arrest the progress of Covenant’s affliction; but he is taught that his only real hope of survival lies in protecting himself obsessively from any form of damage. Horrified by his illness, he returns to his home on Haven Farm, where he finds that his wife, Joan, has abandoned and divorced him in order to protect their son from exposure. Other blows to his emotional stability follow. Fearing the mysterious nature of his illness, the people around him cast him in the traditional role of the leper: a pariah, outcast and unclean. In addition, he discovers that he has become impotent--and unable to write. Grimly he struggles to go on living; but as the pressure of his loneliness mounts, he begins to experience prolonged episodes of unconsciousness, during which he appears to have adventures in a magical realm known only as “the Land”.
