Lord of Light
''Lord of Light'' (1967) is a science fantasy novel by American author Roger Zelazny. It was awarded the 1968 Hugo Award for Best Novel,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1968 Award Winners & Nominees )〕 and nominated for a Nebula Award in the same category.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1967 Award Winners & Nominees )〕 Two chapters from the novel were published as novelettes in the ''Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction'' in 1967. Zelazny's close friend and fellow science fiction/fantasy author, George R. R. Martin (who later reused the names "Lord of Light" and "Sam" for major characters in ''A Song of Ice and Fire''), describes in his afterword to ''Lord of Light'' how Zelazny once told him that the entire novel sprang from a single pun (or spoonerism): ''Then the fit hit the Shan.''
The context of the novel – modern western characters in a Hindu-Buddhist-infused world – is reflected in the book's opening lines:
==Structure==
Zelazny noted, “''Lord of Light'' was intentionally written so that it could be taken as a science fiction or a fantasy novel. On the one hand, I attempted to provide some justifications for what went on in the way of the bizarre; on the other, I employed a style I associate with fantasy in the telling of the story. I wrote it that way on purpose, leaving some intentional ambiguity, because I wanted it to lie somewhat between both camps and not entirely in either. I did this because I did not see much stuff being written at that time which fit that description; because I wanted to see whether I could do it; and because I was curious as to how such a book would be received.” 〔"...And Call Me Roger"": The Literary Life of Roger Zelazny, Part 2, by Christopher S. Kovacs. In: ''The Collected Stories of Roger Zelazny, Volume 2: Power & Light'', NESFA Press, 2009.〕
