La madurez artística de una carrera fraguada en el corazón de un niño pequeño 1. Luz de estrellas lejanas 2. Híbridos y engendros 3. Un corazón atribulado Con la experiencia adquirida en Hollywood como guionista, la narrativa de George R. R. Martin ganó en audiencia y complejidad al tiempo que transgredía las fronteras del fantástico y daba vida a personajes que han arraigado con fuerza en el imaginario del siglo xxi. Pero siempre con una constante: son personajes vinculados a escenarios muy específicos y, ya sean futuristas, fantásticos o terroríficos, codifican en sí mismos sus conflictos internos al tiempo que permean cada aspecto de su carácter. El colofón de esta completísima recopilación recoge, para disfrute de lectores antiguos y nuevos, una muestra del trabajo de Martin en la serie Wild Cards, su personalísima reelaboración del mito de la licantropía en “Tráfico de piel”, un juego diabólico en “La flor de cristal”, y la novela corta “El caballero errante”, con las primeras andanzas de Dunk y Egg en los Siete Reinos, años antes del inicio de Juego de tronos. «Un derviche literario cautivador.» The New York Times
Author
George Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin, born on September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey, is a distinguished fantasy and science fiction writer. Son to Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and Margaret Brady Martin, he grew up with two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten. Martin's passion for writing emerged early, selling monster stories to neighborhood kids, which later evolved into a keen interest in comic books during his high school years, where he also started writing fiction for comic fanzines. His first professional story, The Hero, was sold in 1970 at age 21 and published in Galaxy's February 1971 issue. After earning a B.S. and then a M.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Martin served as a conscientious objector with VISTA, tied to the Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation from 1972-1974, alongside directing chess tournaments and teaching journalism. His marriage to Gale Burnick in 1975 ended in divorce by 1979 without children. Martin transitioned to full-time writing in 1979, after a stint as writer-in-residence at Clarke College. In Hollywood, Martin contributed to Twilight Zone and Beauty and the Beast on CBS, later producing his own pilot, Doorways. Residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he's been actively involved with the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America and the Writers' Guild of America, West.
