Character Life
In 1949, he founded a science fiction enthusiast magazine "Spaceship", and published his first work, Fanmag, in the December 1953 issue of Science Fiction Adventures magazine.
The 1950s
In 1954, he published his first fantasy novel "Gorgon Planet" in the February issue of the British science fiction magazine "Nebula Science Fiction".
His first novel in 1955 was also published in the children's literature "Revolt on Alpha C". In the summer of the same year, he moved into an apartment in New York while still studying in college. There, next to him was the famous science fiction writer mdash;mdash; Randall middot; Garrett. Garrett introduced Silverberg to many famous editors of the time. The two of them co-authored and published many works under the pseudonym of Robert Middle; Randall. Including The Choosen People, The Promised Land, and False Prophet, the three novels combined into a novel The Shrouded Planet in 1957.
After graduating from Columbia University in 1956, Robert married an electronics engineer specializing in radar and optics. And with the Hugo Award that year, he became the youngest Hugo Award winner in history.
During this period, Silverberg also independently created and published many best-selling works. In order to avoid oversaturation of the market, most of these works are published under the pseudonyms of David Middledot; Osborne, Calvin Middledot; Mmiddot; Knox, etc. Silverberg is a good writer who can write according to editorial requirements. As long as he has a theme and length, he can complete a work in almost a day. In the two years from 1957 to 1959, he published 22 short stories and 11 novels, although most of them have not been reprinted since then. At the same time, he has also written a series of other types of works, such as mysterious novels, western novels and pornographic novels.Although these works are numerous, they are not of high literary value and do not reflect Silverberg's talent well. Due to the high-intensity creation of these products made by commercial products, in 1959, Robert Middot Silverberg announced that he would no longer create science fiction novels.
started with Treasures Beneath the Sea in 1960, and he began to create non-fantasy books. Then, Lost Cities and Vanished Civilizations, published in 1962, brought him into the realm of profitable (as he himself said) hardcover nonfiction literature for children's readers. During the period from 1960 to 1972, he published about seventy non-fiction books, most of which were about prehistoric times, archaeology and adventure, and these were the areas he loved. During this period, he also published a series of obscure pornographic novels under the pseudonym of Don;Eliot or Eliot.
Under the persuasion of Frederick middot;Bol, then editor-in-chief of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine, Silverberg began to create science fiction novels again. His new novels are more profound than previous works. He drew nourishment from all kinds of writers not only from the most successful science fiction writers at that time, but also from the best writers in all other fields, from ancient Greek classical masters to modern literary masters. These things end up fitting into his novels with other aspects of his personality.
In the late 1960s, Silverberg indulged in the dark side of his personality, and the tones of his works he wrote became increasingly darker, and the ending became increasingly pessimistic and contradictory. .
Silverberg's main works during this period include Nightwings (1969) mdash;mdash; this work won him the 1964 Hugo Award, Tower of Glass (1970), Thorns (1967), Dying Inside (1972), Downward to the Earth, The Book of Skulls, and Shadrach in the Furnace, as well as some outstanding short stories such as Sundance, Born with the Dead, Caliban, and In Entropy's Jaws. In fact, all Silverberg's works from 1969 to 1974 remained at a high level. This period was also the peak of his award: in 1969, he won the Nebula Award for Best Short Story for the for "passenger", and the Hugo Award for Best Long Novella for Nightwings; in 1971, he won the NEbula Award for Best Long Novel and Best Short Story for "A Time of Changes" and the short story "Good News from the Vatican", and in 1974, he won the NEbula Award for Best Long Novella for "Born with Death".
Since 1973, he has entered what we now call "burn-out". This situation occurred in 1959, but the situation was very different at this time. At that time, he was dragged down by the creation of those low-level best-selling works; but this time, it was the high-intensity creation that he had drained his energy for the works he prescribed for. Before announcing his closing again, he completely stopped writing short stories and turned to creating novels.
Despite the hard pleas from readers and editors, Silverberg's closing continued until 1978. During this period, he created a novel, which later became " King Valentine's Castle ". The pen-sealing makes this creation look like a holiday homework. It was not until 1980 that he returned to the creation of short and medium-sized works with Waiting for the Earthquake. This novel was promised by Ellison in 1975, and was later included in the novel collection Medea.
Starting with "The Castle of the King of Valentine", Silverberg began to create his Majipoor series of novels. In 1984, he created the novel "Sailing to Byzantium" with the same name as Yeats' famous poem, and in 1986 he won the Nebula Award for the long-length novel. In 1986, Silverberg suffered a major change in his personal life: he divorced Barbara, the first wife who had been separated for ten years, and married the writer Karen Harbor the following year. He has co-authored many works with Harber, especially The Mutant Season.They also published several articles together.
In 1987, Silverberg won the Hugo Award for Best Novella for "Gilgamesh in the Outback". In 1990, he won the Hugo Award for Best Short Novella for "Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another".
During this period, Silverberg's novels had new characteristics. He took an equal attitude towards the characters in the novel, and infused with "love" in all characters, even those "bad guys". Of course, this does not mean that these novels are dull and lack infectiousness; on the contrary, they all have fierce dramatic conflicts and allow readers to see different aspects of the same event.
He and his wife Karen Middot;Hab currently lives in San Francisco. His most recent works include: The Alien Years, The Longest Way Home (2002), The King of Dreams (2003), Phases of the Moon (2004), The Gate of Worlds (2005), and the last few of the Majipoor series, a set of trilogies that describe long before the Valentine era (Sorcerers of Majipoor, Lord Prestimion, and King of Dreams). He has selected two collections: Legend (Fantasy) and Far Horizons (Science Fiction). Many of his outstanding works from the 1970s have also been reprinted. Roma Eterna was published in 2003.
In 2004, in order to recognize Silverberg's outstanding contribution to American fantasy literature, the American Society of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers (SFWA) awarded him the "Master Award", which is the highest honor a science fiction and fantasy writer can receive in his life. Silverberg deserves it.
