Standard Disclaimer:
This is a brief discussion of Stepan Chapman and, of course, of some speculative-fiction books by Chapman.
This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Chapman: it includes only those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn’t think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark (#) before the title so you know what’s what.)
I don’t pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Chapman tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Chapman worthy; in sum, to help you rank Stepan Chapman (and the works by Chapman listed here) on your personal literary “to do” list.
Regrettably, I have not yet had an opportunity to write an essay on this author, but the “Other Resources” section below will lead you to some information about the “Notable Books” listed farther down this page.
Because Chapman’s output was not huge (one novel, a couple of story collections, and a chapbook or two), interest in him seems to have faded rapidly after his death in 2014. What remains on the web is pretty well represented by the few links below, which—as you can see—focus mainly on his one novel, a Philip K. Dick Award winner yet mainly under-appreciated (and indeed under-read).
I could not find any.
