Abstract. Editor Warren Lapine has gifted the SF & Fantasy community a remarkable volume that allows the readers to step into the great mind of such an incredible literary artist, Roger Zelazny (1937–1995). Lapine crafted with a lot of effort and proficiency a volume that took half a decade to be put together so as to do justice to the awe-inspiring writer that has offered the world enduring SF novels such as Lord of Light (1967), This Immortal (also known as …And call me Conrad) (1965), The Dream Master (1966), Eye of Cat (1982), Doorways in the sand (1976), short stories & novelettes such as 24 views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai” (1985), This mortal mountain (1967), A rose for Ecclesiastes (1963), For a breath I tarry (1966), and the ten-volume series set in the Amber universe (1970–1991) with its fantasy lore. With this book, the editor enables us not only to connect with the writer’s thoughts & musings and read about Zelazny’s everyday routine, but also to find out unanticipated details about his adventures, straight from the man himself, as they are evoked in the letters to his lifelong friend and writer, Carl Yoke.
