The first volume of Roger Zelazny’s complete collection of stories includes his early works—from his debut to the middle of the 1960s. In these texts, the author appears at the time of bold searches and experiments, when his recognizable style was being born.
The stories are supplemented with editorial comments and excerpts from Zelazny’s own statements—fragments from numerous essays in which he explains how individual works came into being and how he assessed them years later. The book also includes the first part of Roger Zelazny’s biography.
