Autorenporträt
Jack Vance, pseudonimo di John Holbrook Vance (1916-2013), è stato uno scrittore statunitense, autore di romanzi fantasy e di fantascienza, benché Vance stesso abbia obiettato a questa definizione. Gode di una buona considerazione da parte di critici e colleghi, alcuni dei quali hanno suggerito che la sua opera trascende i limiti del genere e che dovrebbe essere considerato un importante scrittore secondo gli standard della letteratura mainstream.
