    Ellen Kushner Bibliography

    SF Site Review:
    The Horn of Elfland
    For many music fans, sound holds a special magic that can be both enchanting and invigorating. A well-crafted tune can literally bewitch a listener, carrying him or her away to distant galaxies or fantastic realms and energizing both the spirit and the imagination. In that regard music is quite similar to speculative literature. It also has a mystical element that can at times be even more powerful than the printed word, according to noted fantasy novelist and radio host Ellen Kushner. "Nobody understands how music works, and that's what makes it magical," she states. "Although someone can be a great composer, just as in a fantasy novel someone can be a great wizard, how they work their respective magics is still a mystery. That's the wonder of it." That sense of wonder is important to both music and literature, which Kushner sees as being thoroughly interrelated. "I cannot read unmusical writing," she says bluntly. "It doesn't have to be eloquent or florid, but it does have to be musical. That may mean using dashes in sentences, or putting 'he said' and 'she said' at natural breaks in the dialogue. The descriptions can vary. The length of the sentences can vary. Even the vowels you use in a word can vary, depending on what's happening and how you want the work to sound as you're reading it. For me, however, everything comes from text, although I admit text comes from sound so it's sort of like a snake eating its tail."

    37. Ellen Kushner, Swordspoint: A Melodrama Of Manners
    ellen kushner, Swordspoint A Melodrama of Manners (Tor, 1987). Swordspointis an unforgettable book. It has everything I look for
    http://www.greenmanreview.com/swordspoint.html
    Ellen Kushner, Swordspoint: A Melodrama of Manners (Tor, 1987) Swordspoint is an unforgettable book. It has everything I look for in a well-written novel a clear, individual writing style, memorable characters, and levels of meaning lurking just beneath a seemingly simple storyline. It is merciless and witty and disturbing, and an absolute joy to read. The novel is set in an imaginary city which Kushner herself has described as "not-quite-equal parts of Elizabethan London, 18th century Paris, a dash of Regency of both, and even a little New York...." The city is ruled by a council of nobles. It is divided into two sections: Riverside, where the pickpockets and prostitutes live and where the Watch never goes, and the more prosperous part on the other side of the river, which includes the Hill where the wealthy nobles live. The main characters are two young men. Alec is a cowardly, sharp-tongued stranger who mysteriously arrives in Riverside before the book opens. He clearly does not belong there. His accent is wrong, he wears a scholar's robe, and he has the height and bone structure of someone from the other side of the river. He swaggers around insulting people and apparently trying to get himself killed. Richard is a citizen of Riverside, a brilliant, ruthless swordsman who makes his living as a mercenary. He is mild-mannered most of the time, but can be horrifically violent when crossed. His pleasant demeanor seems to stem more from detachment or self-protection than from a desire to please.

    38. Ellen Kushner And Delia Sherman, The Fall Of The Kings
    ellen kushner and Delia Sherman, The Fall of the Kings (Bantam Doubleday Dell,2002). ellen kushner is also the host of the radio show Sound and Spirit.
    http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_kushner_fall.html
    Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman, The Fall of the Kings (Bantam Doubleday Dell, 2002) The Fall of the Kings The Scar is its equal, and the year is not yet over. But I feel confident in saying that, on a sentence-by-sentence level, it's the best- written fantasy novel of the year. Though it contains some violence, some tragedy, and some disquieting material of a thought-provoking nature, the book as a whole seems designed to evoke and provoke pleasure. I don't mean that it panders, but that it gives every indication of having been conceived and executed in joy and delight. Kushner and Sherman are partners in life as well as collaborators, so that may well have been the case. This is a book of witty dialogue, prose as precise as a blow to the heart and as glittering as the sword that dealt it, gorgeous young men and women to suit any taste, hot and elegant sex to suit any sexual persuasion, magic with a true aura of numinous danger, thrilling fights, thrilling scholarly debates, old books, swashbuckling aunts, exquisite clothing, ancient rituals, hot chocolate, female pirates, erotic paintings, expensive jewelery, political intrigue, taverns, ghosts, true love, true kings, and a convincing demonstration of the importance of first sources in historical research. Looking over that list, I could imagine that the book was written specifically to suit my tastes, except that I would have sacrificed some of the sex to make room for more swordfighting.
