I've been thinking about Dilvish lately, and I've come to the conclusion that Zelazny's style, as much as I love it, isn't a good fit for pulp heroes like Dilvish. I mentioned something similar with my Damnation Alley piece. To me, the sword and sorcery genre is defined by its crazy manic energy, and Zelazny's writing is very poetic and deliberate, and consequently, Dilvish is a bit of a square peg.
