Quelques mots récents (ça date de trois jours) de Robert Silverberg :
“My favorite Vance book is THE DYING EARTH, which I have read many times, and whose praises I have sung in several introductory essays. I'd put TO LIVE FOREVER, now called CLARGES in its latest edition, in second place. Of course there are many others that I admire. Even now I would rather re-read some Vance novel than read nearly any new science-fiction book.
LORD VALENTINE'S CASTLE was inspired to some degree by BIG PLANET, in which Vance invents a gigantic world which nevertheless is habitable by humans, but only shows us a small part of it. I thought it would be a good idea to propose a planet of equally huge size but to depict many aspects of it, climatic, geographical, cultural, etc. Vance also was a stylistic influence on me: his love of descriptive color, his eloquent handling of the language. I liked the man very much and was happy to have him as my neighbor for forty years or so.
My favorite memory of Jack Vance is an outrageously racist remark that I am not going to repeat here, but which was so incongruous in its context that it could only be taken as a joke.”
