I have loved this since I first read it shortly after it ...By Edith RudyI have loved this since I first read it shortly after it was published. (Powers is one of those authors whose books I buy immediately.) The chance to get it for my Kindle was delightful...I am slowly trying to get my favorites on my e- reader.It can be a bit complex to figure out...the protagonist is both a "fish" and a "candidate for the crown". He's a fish because he ignored good advice and got into a poker game where he lost his soul...but he's also the natural son of the current Fisher King...though nobody knows it except the old man who adopted him after his natural father tried to kill him.As is the case with most of Powers' writing, the book deals with resurrection. (In this case, it's even the name of the variety of poker he plays.) Scott decides that he will attempt to take the crown rather than giving up his soul.

  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.

  • VI Conclusion
    Chapter - VI Conclusion Chapter VI Conclusion Crowley's earliest books—The Deep, Beasts, and Engine Summer (collected as Three Novels)-visit imaginary planets and the far future. In them he comes across as an ambitious author who would merely overheard rumours about science fiction, then decided to put theory into practice. These stories, clever and precious, read like gauzy pencil sketches for his immensely more densely painted large canvases. It seems to be Crowley has used Heroic fantasy in his two novels ‘THE DEEP ’ and ‘ENGINE SUMMER ’ while science fantasy in ‘BEASTS’. ‘The Deep’ and ‘Engine summer’ are based on the heroic characters that work in different way for society. ‘The Deep’ is about the journey of the Visitor from the Sky to the Deep. Visitor, who is a person with fantasy characters, lives with Reds-one of the societies from the plot of ‘The Deep’. On the other hand ‘Engine Summer’ is about a boy namely Rush that speaks who first goes in search of his love-Onee A Day, but finally wanted to become a saint. During his journey he becomes fond of truthful speaking and hence is a hero of society. However, ‘Beasts' is about the genetically engineered animals lion-headed man Painter and fox-headed man Reynard who are trying to survive against hunting and elimination measures of Political forces. The landscape of The Deep is an interesting one. Two societies Reds and Blacks are fighting for the crown while the Just are the criminals and Grays are wise men with justice. The novel shows some sort of war happening between Reds and Black where the hero of the Novel-Visitor tries to solve the problem of crown with the help of Grays.
