About the author
George R.R. Martin
1,505 books119k followersGeorge Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten.
Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.
In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.
As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.
In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.
Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.
Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.

De nuevo, una colección variada y diferente de Martin. Si bien Retratos de los hijos se inclinaba más por la fantasía, en este la temática es más cercana a la ciencia ficción, pero sin perder el toque humano que le caracteriza. A mí siempre me ha gustado más la fantasía que la cf, pero Martin es Martin, aka mi dios literiario, y algunos de los relatos de este libro son de lo mejor que he leído, en especial "Desobediencia" y "Una canción para Lya". Las ediciones de Gigamesh son siempre una delicia.

Tenía curiosidad por ver cómo escribía en otros géneros el gran George Martin y leí esta colección de novelas cortas y relatos de terror sideral escrita por él en los años setenta. Le dijeron que la ciencia-ficción y el terror no podían combinar, así que él se propuso demostrar lo contrario con estas historias. He de decir que no creo que lo haya conseguido. Las historias no me parecen de terror, más bien de misterio o suspense, pero qué etiqueta le pongamos al género en el fondo no importa.
Lo cierto es que sí son historias de calidad, entretenidas y tremendamente creativas. Se nota la mente innovadora de un Martin joven con ideas rompedoras. ¿Un pasatiempo de fin de semana que consiste en matarse unos a otros? ¿Y por qué no? ¿Utilizar a los muertos en labores de minería? ¡Claro que sí! Y ya puestos, vamos a insinuar cómo empezó la existencia de nuestro de nuestro universo disfrazándolo de relato sobre portales en el espacio.
Son seis historias independientes, ambientadas en el "Universo de los Mil Mundos", el cual podría considerarse un paralelo en otro género de Poniente de Canción de Hielo y Fuego, con sus razas, mitologías, pueblos... Martin muestra su afición desde temprano por crear universos enteros. Una mención especial para "Una canción para Lya", una verdadera joya del género de novela corta con implicaciones y mensajes impresionantes.
