Comments: There are some authors who are so prolific over such a prolonged period of time that they seem almost inhuman. As examples of this phenomenon I point to Robert Silverberg and Ursula K. Le Guin. Silverberg started his career in the 1950s, Le Guin in the 1960s. Both became dominant voices in the science fiction world in the 1970s, and have continued to turn out fantastic work to this day. In the 2000 Locus Awards ballot, Silverberg's name appears three times, while Le Guin's appears twice. Unlike many authors who turned increasingly towards exclusively writing novels in their later careers, both Silverberg and Le Guin have continued to produce works of all lengths throughout theirs. How they produce such a vast amount of brilliant fiction is a mystery to me, but I'm certainly glad that they do.
