Thanks for sharing it. <br /><br />I wonder if it was just his arbitrary mental shorthand to denote a short period of time or if it had some deeper meaning to him.Jugularjoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768939120752611597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504598332261057441.post-51535954403792568552018-04-10T18:10:20.340-04:002018-04-10T18:10:20.340-04:00I just stumbled across a more common motif in Zela...I just stumbled across a more common motif in Zelazny's works than "green eyes." It's none other than "three days." This occurs within short stories or poems 20 times in volume 1, 8 times in volume 2, 8 times in volume 3, 3 times in volume 4, 8 times in volume 5, and 3 times in volume 6. That's 50 times without even looking at the novels. I don't know what this means...<br /><br />Lest you think I painstakingly read through all volumes to find these, no. As an editor I have pdfs of each volume, so it took only a few seconds to search each.<br /><br />On balance, I count about 32 instances of green (or variations thereof) eyes among the short stories, poems, and novels. But I haven't been able to search all novels.<br /><br />The "three days" of course brings up Chris DeVito's earlier mention of how it connects Damnation Alley to precede the events of This Immortal. But what it means among all the other works, I do not know.ckovacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18247983121351412450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504598332261057441.post-47687492791601410982018-04-05T19:35:11.083-04:002018-04-05T19:35:11.083-04:00...perhaps...perhapsJugularjoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768939120752611597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504598332261057441.post-16239969495268074492018-04-05T17:38:07.869-04:002018-04-05T17:38:07.869-04:00Arroyo also appears in:
