This is a brief discussion of Robert Silverberg and, of course, of some speculative-fiction books by Silverberg.
This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Silverberg: 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 Silverberg tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Silverberg worthy; in sum, to help you rank Robert Silverberg (and the works by Silverberg 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.
First off, there is Robert Silverberg, his own site, and Majipoor, a dedicated Silverberg site run by Jon Davis.
Beyond those, useful pages (as opposed to two-paragraph “biographies”) are remarkably sparse. I suspect it is a matter of Silverberg being too well-known: it semes (just a guess here) almost univeraslly accepted that everyone already knows all about him. Still, there are some other useful pages:
There are also, of course, the usual assortments of one-off book reviews and interviews, for which Google Is Your Friend.
I could find none.
