About the Book

Il grande maestro della fantascienza e del fantasy Jack Vance racconta la storia della sua vita! Nel 1916 nasceva a San Francisco uno degli scrittori più prestigiosi del XX secolo: John Holbrook (Jack) Vance, conosciuto come "il paesaggista della fantascienza". Le sue opere descrivono eventi, persone e luoghi in modo semplice e accurato, portando il lettore a immedesimarsi nella storia fino a diventarne il protagonista. Sono film, dove il regista scompare di proposito. Lo stesso Vance afferma: "Il più grande complimento che uno scrittore possa ricevere è che il lettore non sia conscio della sua presenza." Anche nell'autobiografia Vance non esprime giudizi e opinioni personali. Racconta la gioventù e i primi difficili anni, le esperienze lavorative, l'incontro con Norma, moglie e compagna di tutte le avventure, la nascita del figlio John, la passione per le barche e la musica jazz, i numerosi viaggi e le amicizie consolidate nel corso degli anni. Nonostante faccia di tutto per nascondersi ancora, proprio questa riservatezza rivela la sua profondità di pensiero. Finalmente riusciamo a conoscere Jack. Accompagnano la narrazione le fotografie dell'archivio di casa Vance che si estende per quasi un secolo. Tutto è raccontato con ironia e spirito, e con una tale vitalità da vincere il premio Hugo nel 2010.

About the Author :
Jack Vance, pseudonimo di John Holbrook Vance (1916-2013), è stato uno scrittore statunitense, autore di romanzi fantasy e di fantascienza, benché Vance stesso abbia obiettato a questa definizione. Gode di una buona considerazione da parte di critici e colleghi, alcuni dei quali hanno suggerito che la sua opera trascende i limiti del genere e che dovrebbe essere considerato un importante scrittore secondo gli standard della letteratura mainstream. Marco Riva nasce a Piacenza nel 1953, ma dopo pochi anni si trasferisce a Milano dove vive tuttora. Si laurea in Ingegneria Chimica e lavora come specialista R&D nel campo delle Nuove Tecnologie, viaggiando in gran parte del mondo. Dal maggio 2018 è in pensione.
