Zelazny, telling of gods and wizards, uses magical words as if he himself were a wizard. He reaches into the subconscious and invokes archetypes to make the hair rise on the back of your neck. Yet these archetypes are transmuted into a science fictional world that is as believable — and as awe-inspiring — as the world you now live in.
1980

Из художественных произведений
Farmer writes from one of the most brilliantly untrammelled imaginations I’ve ever known, but he has often seemed lacking in that self-critical faculty <…>. The results have usually, in recent years, been abortive and Farmer’s hallmark has been the imprisonment of his glowing ideas in wooden and inflexible prose.
Тед Уайт, 1969

„[Её] духи были нежными и в то же время с намёком на запах, который издаёт тигр в засаде.“
[Her] perfume was delicate and at the same time with the hint of an odor like a tiger in ambush.

Farmer's best work is always recognized as his own and no one else's, <…> I think, that he is able to descend into his own subconcious mind and bring back visions that we can share because they are somehow our visions too.

The theme he stresses in most of his work is that machines will someday be as human as Homo sapiens and perhaps superior to him. Mr. Lem has an almost Dickensian genius for vividly realizing the tragedy and comedy of future machines; the death of one of his androids or computers actually wrings sorrow from the reader.
