    Extractions: He died of what he saw there: Vengeance as a theme in the writings of Patricia A. McKillip The Forgotten Beasts of Eld The Hed trilogy McKillip's other works Comparison with ... Links I began these pages with a discussion of vengeance in the writings of John Holbrook Vance . That page is so long that it has been split into three, so I will use this page to do the same for McKillip, another excellent fantasy author. If all goes well, I will compare and contrast the two on another page. Both documents are a work in progress. Darko Suvin, in "Considering the Sense of 'Fantasy' or 'Fantastic Fiction': An Effusion," in Extrapolation 41:209-247, 2000 describes much fantastic literature as parable . He says: "For the parable consists of a narrative body as 'vehicle' and an intended meaning as 'tenor,' as a way of intimately relating art to truth or narrative and metaphoric imagination to conceptualized, normative doctrine." (p. 211) I can only speculate about McKillip's intent, but some of her narrative body seems to have, as a significant part of its tenor, that vengeance is dangerous to the avenger, and good characters, although they may be tempted to seek revenge, draw back from it. Vengeance in The Forgotten Beasts of Eld: Any discussion of McKillip should start with The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, (New York: Avon)

85. Song For The Basilisk By Patricia A. McKillip (Olson)
    Song for the Basilisk. by patricia A. mckillip. A book review by MarkL. Olson. Ace Fantasy, 1998, 314 pp, $22.95 Song for the Basilisk  
    http://www.nesfa.org/reviews/Olson/SongForTheBasilisk.html
    
    Extractions: Song for the Basilisk has strong echoes of McKillip's superb Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy, but I don't think it achieves the same level. The main character, the hidden heir to the defeated house in a civil war, is whisked away as a child to be raised as a bard at a school for bards on a far distant island. He is interested in little but his music (though bards appear to be more poets than musicians) and lives the life of a teacher at the school for bards. He does take time to marry and have a son. Eventually, he wanders almost aimlessly back to the city where he was born and enters a school for music, from which he is hired to catalog the musical manuscripts looted by the Basilisk the affectionate nickname given the winner in that old civil war. Things happen and he stumbles into a considerable personal magic, ignites a new civil war and almost absent-mindedly defeats the Basilisk. McKillip is best when she is portraying magic: McKillip's magic never comes from elaborate formulae or follows arcane, over-detailed rules. It comes from within the character and, while often quite well controlled, is never deeply analyzed and may well be unanalyzable. She shows this very, very well.
