An indispensable companion to one of the 20th Century's greatest writers. Jack Vance has an almost unparalleled imagination and in order not to become constrained by the English language, he often created new words, enabling him to elaborate his worlds beyond previous limits of scope. This Lexicon will help readers bridge the gap and heighten the appreciation of Vance's works.
