Donaldson's biography?

Post by Lyas »

Sorry, for my poor english (I'm French, this is the explanation).
I was just wondering where I can find a biography of Donaldson.
I'm writing a text on this author and I can't find many details on his life.
Thank you.
(And sorry for the english ^^)

Your English is perfect, Lyas! :) In fact, you type more coherently than our good friend Skyweir :P (j/k Sky...perhaps :P )

I haven't (yet) been able to locate a detailed biography (it seems little is known about him) but here are a couple of links, which you may have found already:

hem.passagen.se/josa99/donbio.html
speccoll.library.kent.edu/literature/prose/bio.html
www.futurefiction.com/stephen_r__donaldson.htm

Quite sparse... :roll:

lol .. *bows* .. thankyou for that most eloquent introduction Cov. jr ;)

Lyas in many of his forwards in each book .. he tells a little of himself .. apart from that .. I have never come across a detailed biography of the Master Writer himself ..

that mingled with the interviews he has given .. and the links Cov. jr provided ..

maybe even a google search will uncover more info ..

sorry not to be of more assistance ..

Unfortunately, I have already found these elements.

I hoped that you will know more things that French people, because in France, Donaldson is almost unknown. :(

Anyway, thanks. ;)

Hmm probably even less unknown in France than in the US! :wink:

I would be interested to see what you have on Donaldson when you have completed the compilation!
