''The Cherryh Odyssey'' is a 2004 collection of essays by various academics, critics and authors about American Hugo Award-winning science fiction and fantasy author, C. J. Cherryh. It was edited by author and academic, Edward Carmien, and was published by Borgo Press, an imprint of Wildside Press as part of its ''Author Study'' series. ''Locus Magazine'' put the book on its "2004 Recommended Reading List",〔 and Carmien received a nomination for the 2005 Locus Award for Best Non-fiction book for ''The Cherryh Odyssey''.〔 The book's cover was painted by Cherryh's brother, David Cherry. He had originally intended it to be used for the cover of Cherryh's 1986 collection of short fiction, ''Visible Light'', but it was "not warmly received by the publisher". ==Background== C. J. Cherryh (a pseudonym for Carolyn Janice Cherry) is an American science fiction and fantasy author who has written over 60 novels. She has received several literary awards, including three Hugo Awards for the short story, "Cassandra" (1978), and the novels, ''Downbelow Station'' (1981) and ''Cyteen'' (1988).〔 She added a silent "h" to her real name at the suggestion of her first editor because he felt that "Cherry" sounded too much like a romance writer. She also used the initials "C. J." to hide the fact that she was female, at a time (the mid-1970s) when most science fiction writers were male. Edward Carmien is a fiction and non-fiction author and editor of science fiction, fantasy and other topics. He is professor of English at Mercer County Community College, New Jersey, where he teaches science fiction. Carmien is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) and the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA).〔〔 ''The Cherryh Odyssey'' was compiled by Carmien to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of Cherryh's first two novels in 1976, ''Gate of Ivrel'' and ''Brothers of Earth''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Cherryh Odyssey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
