''Unicorn Variations'' is a collection of stories and essays by author Roger Zelazny, published in 1983. The title story, "Unicorn Variation", was written as a result of Zelazny having been asked to contribute to two different upcoming anthologies — one collecting stories set in bars, and one collecting stories about unicorns. When Zelazny mentioned these requests to his close friend George R. R. Martin, the other told Zelazny of a third upcoming anthology — one which would collect stories about chess — and jokingly suggested that Zelazny write a story about playing chess against a unicorn in a bar, so that he could sell the story three times. Zelazny did just that and then went on to win a Hugo Award for the story. ==Contents== *"Introduction" *"Unicorn Variation" *"The Last of the Wild Ones" *:(A follow-up short story to the earlier story "Devil Car") *"Recital" *"The Naked Matador" *"The Parts That Are Only Glimpsed: Three Reflexes" (essay) *"Dismal Light" *:(A follow-up short story to the novel "Isle of the Dead") *"Go Starless in the Night" *"But Not the Herald" *"A Hand Across the Galaxy" *"The Force That Through the Circuit Drives the Current" *:(A short story that plays with themes developed in the novella "Home is the Hangman") *"Home is the Hangman" *:(Initially published in the collection My Name is Legion) *"Fire and /or Ice" *"Exeunt Omnes" *"A Very Good Year" *"My Lady of the Diodes" *"And I Only Am Escaped to Tell Thee" *"The Horses of Lir" *"The Night Has 999 Eyes" *"Angel, Dark Angel" *"Walpurgisnacht" *"The George Business" *"Some Science Fiction Parameters: A Biased View" (essay) 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「Unicorn Variations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
