The only convenient explanation I can give for my lack of enthusiasm is that, as craftsmen, both Burroughs and Howard are just too crude for me. There she felt that she had found recognition at last. . Just to highlight the contrast, I'll mention that the COVENANT trilogy will soon be published in England, Japan, Sweden, and Germany. Within the Community, she was blameworthy only because the whole world deserved denunciation, and she was part of the world. At that point, I dropped out of my Ph.D. program, and began writing full-time. The secret opportunity hidden in every burden is the chance to rise rather than sink. Which is surely one of the besetting sins of our civilization. The best part about COVENANT's success is that it contains no room for cynicism.It's difficult to answer that without getting bogged down in biographical details. Linden meets with Covenant and Jeremiah in their chambers. Covenant shows his true form, he is Roger Covenant not Thomas, A terrible battle follows during which the Staff of Law turns black. One reason why I finally decided to write RESTORATION was precisely because I was afraid of it. And in return, she was given a kind of peace.
We are all creatures of paradox, simultaneously sick and well.
His leprosy results in him becoming an outcast from the rest of society; his bills are paid by anonymous others and his groceries are delivered to him on Haven Farm to keep him out of the town and away from the general public. But a greater attraction is linked to a search for meaning and a rationale for the despair, the hatred and the self destructive tendencies I see in the ebb and flow of modern society. After that moment, I never considered anything else.I was very lucky. . Are you married then? Somewhat later, as a final service to Linden, he transports the Cords to Revelstone, so that they might convince the Masters to march against the Sandgorgons and After a failed attempt by Linden to free Jeremiah from the In the battle's aftermath, it is revealed that Jeremiah remains locked in his isolated mental state, and that Galt was actually Stave's son, though the two had become estranged by Stave's repudiation of the Masters. They were trying to deny the paradox.) [Stephen R.] Donaldson is extending himself, creating a fuller, more mature world of imagination.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer Four thousand years have passed since Covenant first freed the Land from the devastating grip of Lord Foul and his minions. Just ask any writer how easily he or she can postpone writing a story by writing letters, reviews, whatever.After RESTORATION what do you have planned? Control without passion is dead." In several important ways, any good book is sui generisMy correspondent friend went on to say "the Donaldson books are certainly the best thing to come out of fantasy for a long, long time. This is the essential paradox of what Blake called "reason" and "energy": "Reason is the circumference of energy." In response, Covenant demands that she join him on the plateau, where he will show her how he intends to save the Land. (Far, far superior to SWORD OF SHANNARA which was fair.)". In good fantasy and science fiction, the imagination regains its crucial, energizing role. Sargent has a very good point. I think of it as magic: at unexpected moments, something happens to the connection between my story (which is always more opalescent than anything I can hope to communicate) and my resources of language (which are always dismally limited), and I begin to write better than I know how. And if he were punished enough, if he suffered enough, if he met destruction for his crimes, his agony would redeem her. Yet we never give a second thought to that option in heroic fantasy. Back in his own "real" world, Thomas Covenant is devastated by the loss of Elena, though he still maintains to himself that his experience in the Land was all just a dream. How about works in progress?I do have one other story "out" at the moment-a science fiction novella entitled, "Animal Lover," which appeared in STELLAR #4 this past May. I write because the sense of "discovery," when it comes, is simply the most exciting thing in life. it's good reading. I should also confess a sneaking admiration for George Meredith. (The hurtloam used to heal Covenant's head injury also has the effect of "curing" his leprosy). I read one "Tarzan" book when I was in high school. The fangs in her mind approved. Covenant reaches Joan by entering a caesure; Branl and Clyme follow him with dogged Haruchai loyalty, though Covenant is only able to free himself from the warped instant of time. I find that I haven't lost my talent for collecting rejection slips.A British author and correspondent recently wrote and raved about the COVENANT TRILOGY, however he finished his letter by saying: "My only complaint is a minor one, and that's that the plot and ideas owe so much to LORD OF THE RINGS (LOTR) . SHANNARA convinced the people who do the marketing that new fantasy can sell. Covenant speaks primarily in non sequiturs and evasions, although he insists that he knows how to save the Land. Well, I believe that anybody who explores his own mind honestly isn't going to find realism in there.
