| Re: Stephen Donaldson
No, I haven't. About all I know about the Marquis is how they presented him in the film "Quills". And I doubt that is very indicative. It's an interesting question, though. Were there actual plots to his books, or were they just, well, scenes? I mean, there was a plot to Donaldson's first Gap book. There was just a lot of sexually-tinged brutalitiy, as I remember. I don't know, I may even be exaggerating it in my mind after all this time, as I read it when it first came out. But I do definitely recall being put off by it. It was worse, in my opinion, than Piers Anthony's "Bio of a Space Tyrant" series, which got pretty brutal in places; I actually read that whole series, at least. And that was before the first Gap novel came out, I'm sure. |
