Does anyone know much about him? I recently bought an anthology called "Songs of the Dying Earth" which is sort of a tribute to his work. All of the fiction seems very interesting, as the contributors seem to be borrowing from Vance's style, which seems very verbose and poetic yet extremely captivating. The characters and setting are very vivid.
However, I haven't had the pleasure of reading any of Vance's actual work mostly because I'm a slave to Kindle now since I refuse to buy any more paper books (I already have thousands so I don't want any more). Does anyone know much about him or read any of his work? George Martin has mentioned him many times in the past and seems to be a major inspiration to him.
