Appraise Regarding Books The Last Defender of Camelot

SF & Fantasy short stories, several of which won awards. As always, he's a great read. The title story is his take on the Arthurian Legend & is, as always, unique. Other stories take fantasy into SF & vice versa in strange ways with a deft touch. He's one of the few authors that was a master of both the novel & short story.

I've read several of Zelazny's novels in the past, but this is the first of his short fiction that I've read. I thought it was a decent collection, there are a few really good stories in here, but some others aren't all that special. I think my favourite in the collection was 24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai. I think it could have worked even better as an illustrated edition, although I was able to refer to Wikipedia to find out what pictures the main character was looking at. Like many of

Zelazny's short stories are some of the best of his writing. I'll have to pick this up.

If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review.Erudition: "The Last Defender of Camelot" by Roger Zelazny(Original Review, 1980-12-12)"The Last Defender of Camelot" is not really a new Zelazny book, but is a collection of short stories and novelettes from the very beginning of his career til now. I didn't much care for the title story (Merlin, not Lancelot was always my favorite Arthurian character), but they're all worth reading unless you have them in other collections.

Zelazny has such a great talent to entwine fiction-fantasy-action with patterns from everyday life and portraits of all kinds of creatures.I just love the permanent feeling of surprise while reading his stories!

Does include Home is the Hangman which is decent. Some of the others are worth reading as well.
