  • Publishing Jack Vance: the SAS® System As a Tool for Literary Analysis Koen Vyverman, SAS, Netherlands
    SUGI 30 Applications Development Paper 025-30 Publishing Jack Vance: The SAS® System as a Tool for Literary Analysis Koen Vyverman, SAS, Netherlands ABSTRACT The Vance Integral Edition (VIE) is a non-profit organization that aims to publish the entire works of the American author Jack Vance in a limited, durable, and definitive edition. As each of Vance’s 136 novels and short stories progresses through the VIE workflow—-from scanning and digitizing, via restoration and proofing, all the way through to typesetting and printing—-the SAS System has proved to be invaluable. SAS software has been used for comparing and analyzing the contents of the various file formats that are involved (flat-file, Word document, RTF), for keeping track of text changes, for reporting in Word and Excel formats, and for providing analytical insights into some prickly questions of textual and stylistic integrity. This paper discusses the major VIE processes where SAS came to the rescue, with ample segments of code and sample output. INTRODUCTION “Beyond question you are a person of discernment. Still, all balanced against all, the works to which I refer make demands of those who would appreciate them. The metaphors sometimes span two or three abstractions; the perorations are addressed to unknown agencies, the language is archaic and ambiguous...In spite of all, the works exhale a peculiar fervor.” (Vance, 2005b) This paper documents what might be the first-ever application of the analytical powers of the SAS System to a project that is strictly literary in nature: using SAS software to help publish an integral edition of the works of a great, yet notably undiscovered, American classic, Jack Vance.

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.
