Roger Zelazny was a demented genius who could squeeze words until they sang.
— “Beautiful, poetic, and experimental: Roger Zelazny’s Doorways in the Sand,” Jo Walton on Reactor.
“Doorways” and “Roadmarks” are two of my favorite Zelazny books. His major works — “Lord of Light” and the “Amber” series — are great, but “Doorways” and “Roadmarks” are special to me, I think in part because the stakes and scope are relatively low.
