Steven Erikson

Steven Erikson (born October 7, 1959) is the pseudonym of Steve Rune Lundin, a Canadian novelist, who was educated and trained as both an archaeologist and anthropologist.
His best-known work is the completed ten-book fantasy series Malazan Book of the Fallen, which by 2006 had sold over 250,000 copies. SF Site has called the series "the most significant work of epic fantasy since Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant," and Fantasy Book Review described it as "the best fantasy series of recent times." Fellow fantasy author Stephen Donaldson, refers to Erikson as "an extraordinary writer". In an interview with sffworld.com, Erikson acknowledged that he originally doubted the series would become "mainstream", and was subsequently surprised at how successful the series has been. He also noted how people "either hate the series or love it".
==Biography==
Steven Erikson was born in Toronto, Canada, and grew up in Winnipeg. He subsequently lived in the UK with his wife and son before returning to Canada to live in Victoria, B.C. in 2012.Penguin Books Author BiographySteven-Erikson.org About the Author
He is an anthropologist and archaeologist by training, receiving his undergraduate degree in anthropology (with minors in History and Classics)steven-erikson.org: Bob's Got A Hatchet at the University of Manitoba.steven-erikson.org: What, Another Tavern? The Use of Setting in Fantasy While at university, he also took courses in fiction writing, and in 1983 he dropped out of a Master's program in archaeology to join the undergraduate Creative Writing program at the University of Victoria.steven-erikson.org: In 1983 I was standing in a tiny, blistering hot telephone booth in Belize City… He completed his formal education as a graduate of the prestigious Iowa Writers' Workshop.
For his thesis at Iowa, Erikson wrote a "story cycle" of short stories titled A Ruin of Feathers about an archaeologist in Central America. Subsequently, Erikson received a grant to finish the work which was published by TSAR, a small Canadian publishing house. For his next work Erikson co-won the Anvil Press International 3-Day Novel Contest for which he signed away the rights, a mistake he attributes to inexperience. Erikson's third book was also published by TSAR, and consisted of a novella and short stories titled Revolvo and other Canadian Tales. Later, upon moving to England, Erikson sold what he refers to as his "first real novel" to Hodder and Stoughton — This River Awakens — written when he still lived in Winnipeg. The first four books were published under Erikson's real name, and are currently out of print. 
All the while, Erikson continued working as a field archaeologist, specialising in lithics (stone tools) and rock art, and eventually amassing 18 years in the profession.Amalgam Podcast - See 3:00-10:00 When Erikson moved to the UK with his English wife in 1995, he worked for a time in the communications department of the Toyota UK head office in RedhillFacebook post 2 January 2018 due to a lack of opportunities in the field of archaeology. He described his role as that of a kind of temp in the communications department and he lived in Dorking at the time. It was during this time that he decided to make the transition to a writing career.
In addition to writing, Erikson paints using oil paints.
==Malazan Book of the Fallen series==
====Conception====
Steven Erikson and Ian Cameron Esslemont first met at an archeological dig at the site of Mud Portage, Ontario, Canada. According to Steven Erikson, they didn't role-play until their second season there, when Cam introduced AD&D. Erikson remembered that they failed at it in "spectacular, drug-induced fashion".Facebook post 29 December 2017
The Malazan world was devised by Erikson and Esslemont initially as a setting for a role-playing game.Erikson Q & A - Part 6 Gardens of the Moon began as a movie script but evolved into a novel, which Erikson completed in 1991-92 but failed to sell.Gardens of the Moon review at Science Fiction Book Club
In the late 1990s, Transworld - a division of Random House - bought Gardens of the Moon and requested Erikson write additional books in the series. Using the history of the Malazan world he created with Esslemont, Erikson plotted nine additional novels. After the publication of Gardens of the Moon, reviews spread via the internet, and Orion publications attempted to lure Erikson away from Transworld. However, Transworld retained an option on additional novels in the series and offered £675,000 for the remaining nine books of the series.
====Style====
Gods are always messing with mortals in Erikson's work, but the mortals also, by their patterns of belief, create their own gods, their own greater powers. Everything is in flux. Men and women ascend to godhood; gods die or lose their powers.... It's a messy, complicated business, and there are no easy answers, or clear heroes.
—Andrew Leonard writing for Salon.com
Erikson has stated explicitly that he enjoys playing with and overturning the conventions of fantasy, presenting characters that violate the stereotypes associated with their roles. Erikson deliberately began the Malazan Book of the Fallen series mid-plot rather than beginning with a more conventional narrative. Erikson's style of writing includes complex plots with masses of characters. In addition, Erikson has been praised for his willingness to kill central characters when it enhances the plot.
Erikson explained that he changed the terminology he used over the course of writing the series, including for example, that of some units of length. For his full response read his answer to question 37 of the Tor Q&A sessionSteven Erikson (2014) Ask Steven Erikson Your Crippled God Questions!, Tor Blogs, Macmillan, Accessed: 16-12-2014, Available: <http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/11/steven-erikson-the-crippled-god-q-and-a>, see Steven Erikson's answer to question 37
====Reception====
Word of mouth is very powerful in fantasy, and the net carries its own energy. It made a huge difference – people were picking [Gardens of the Moon] up from Amsterdam to the US.
—Steven Erikson 
Erikson's first novel of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, Gardens of the Moon (1999), was critically acclaimed. It was short-listed for a World Fantasy Award. It has also earned him the reputation as one of the best authors in the fantasy genre, and was described as "An astounding début". The novel was acclaimed for its "combination of originality and intelligent, strong and exciting storytelling". The second book in the series, Deadhouse Gates (2000), was voted one of the ten best fantasy novels of 2000 by SF Site.
During a 2008 question and answer session in Seattle, Washington, Erikson stated he had signed a deal to write two more trilogies and six novellas. Erikson planned to use the novellas to continue the Bauchelain and Korbal Broach storyline, while one of the trilogies would be a prequel to the main series detailing the history of Anomander Rake and Mother Dark. During the same interview, Erikson stated that the upcoming book in the main series, Dust of Dreams (which was released in the United Kingdom August 18th, 2009) would be the first novel to end on a cliffhanger.
====Adaptations====
Some of Steven Erikson's poems from the Malazan books have been set to music by Canadian acoustic alt-folk duo October Gold on their album "Bridge of the Sun".October Gold - Bridge of the Sun"
It has also inspired a Salt Lake City based Epic Black Metal band called Caladan Brood, formed by a duo dubbing themselves Mortal Sword and Shield Anvil.Caladan Brood Bandcamp pageCaladan Brood Facebook page

==Trivia==
* The Erikson pen name comes from his mother's maiden name.Q and A with malazanempire No 2 (2003) He started using it for his fantasy writing at the request of his original non-fantasy publisher who feared confusing his audience. Erikson chose the name to honour his late mother, a prolific reader who never got to read his published work.Ten Very Big Books podcast See 37:10
*Erikson cites Stephen Donaldson and Glen Cook as his major influences within fantasy fiction.An Evening with Steven Erikson by Nerdaí Irish Nerds See 10:45 His interest in fantasy was always in the sword and sorcery sub-genre embodied by Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, and Karl Edward Wagner rather than the epic fantasy of J. R. R. Tolkien.Ten Very Big Books podcast See 39:50 He also cites Frank Herbert's Dune as an inspiration for dropping a reader into a story and forcing them to tread water for quite some time before they are able to piece together the story. The "structure of Gardens of the Moon is ripped off straight from Dune."Ten Very Big Books podcast See 51:00
* Erikson prefers writing in public places surrounded by people, and frequently acknowledges the pubs, bars, and cafes where he worked at the front of each book.Facebook post 12 January 2018 He wrote the entirety of his science fiction novel, Willful Child: The Search for Spark, in under four weeks while on a writing retreat in Opatija, Croatia. He spent 4 to 5 hours every day writing at an outdoor bar without breaks.Facebook post 28 March 2018
*Erikson describes himself as a "linear writer...I start on page one and I end up on the last page". He does not "like to insert text in blocks that I've already written because to me it puts at risk the...internal rhythms and pacing that has already been there, that has already been set up the first time around." Once the writing is complete, he will make editing changes such as word choices, but he is "very nervous about cutting and pasting" and moving blocks of text around. "It feels dangerous to mess with it once I've got that first draft down."Critical Conversations 04: Deadhouse Gates Chapter 19 with Steven Erikson - See 10:50
* Of his fellow Malazan creator, Ian C. Esslemont, Erikson says, "quite often my audience in my own mind was an audience of one--and that was Cam...A lot of the jokes, a lot of the humour--there's a lot of in-stuff, in-jokes that occur which are only for Cam, and vice versa."Ten Very Big Books podcast - Memories of Ice - See 36:00
* Erikson and Esslemont usually meet once a year at the International Conference on the Fantastic Arts in Orlando, Florida to coordinate details in their books. According to Erikson, the two authors "hang out by the pool, and get drunk, and talk about what we're working on. So we work through some stories there...Often I don't see [Esslemont's] manuscript until the book's been published."An Evening with Steven Erikson by Nerdaí Irish Nerds - See 36:30 
* Erikson and Esslemont first collaborated as writing partners on a series of feature film screenplays. Their first was an "archaeology horror comedy" called Midnight's Son, whose two main characters were essentially analogues for the authors themselves. The plot involved an archaeological dig on an island of the east coast of Canada which turned up a Viking killing field. The script was purchased by a film producer, but never made. The second and third scripts were Magic realist comedies, one of which was optioned twice. One of these scripts was called "Lawn Maintenance and the Primordial Soup". The fourth script was Gardens of the Moon, which was inspired by their role-playing hobby and formed the basis for the eventual novel of the same name. Another script was Blackdog Blues, which covered Whiskeyjack and the Bridgeburners at Blackdog Swamp.Not A TSACast: Fireside Conversations with Steven Erikson Ep#3 podcast - See 1:11:00Ten Very Big Books podcast - Reaper's Gale - Conversation with Steven Erikson - See 47:10
* Although never a soldier himself, Erikson attributes some of his experiences as an archaeologist to his ability to faithfully capture the feel of soldiers at war. Field work often involved being isolated with small groups of people in otherwise difficult and unpopulated environments. "Bush fever" once caused one of his coworkers to attack him with a hatchet "because I said the wrong thing at the wrong time." After a dig in Belize in 1983, Erikson visited Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Guatemala was in the midst of a civil war and Erikson was witness to its brutality before he could find his way back to Belize.An Evening with Steven Erikson by Nerdaí Irish Nerds - See 45:25
* Erikson is a long time fencer and finds the acrobatic sword fighting styles common in fantasy television and movies to be unrealistic and ineffective. Using a fencing epee, he once handily defeated a champion from the Society for Creative Anachronism who was armed with a rapier and parrying blade.Black Gate Magazine video interview (see 25:20) After starting fencing when he was eighteen, he finally had to give it up in the 2010s after tearing a hamstring.Ten Very Big Books podcast - Midnight Tides - See 13:30
*Erikson once wrote a script for the television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, but it was ultimately rejected. He summarised the plot as: "A giant last surviving alien in a sleeper ship over a dead planet. Enterprise inadvertently awakens him. In so doing, the alien informs them that he represents a flytrap for an old enemy, who's now on the way. On the planet below, cities rise from beneath earth, revealing a vast thriving civilization. The old enemy appears -- the Doomsday machine. Picard and co beg the alien to save the planet below, but the planet is the honey in the trap, and the planet-killer must be in the act of destroying it for the alien to strike at its heart, which he does. Picard rails against the terrible loss: only to discover that the civilization is a chimera -- not real. The alien sacrifices himself destroying the planet-killer."Reddit AMA 2015
* Game developer Bungie approached Erikson to write novels or short stories based on the world of the Destiny video game while it was still early in production. The demands of the property's constantly changing backstory and shifting management teams led Erikson to turn down a $100,000 contract. He did complete a single short story for the project, but it was never published.Black Gate Magazine video interview (see 31:35)
* In November 2017, Erikson announced plans on his Facebook page to auction off the names of two characters for his upcoming novel, Rejoice, A Knife to the Heart as part of the Worldbuilders charity.
* Erikson enjoys drawing and painting. Before getting into writing, he wanted to be a comic book artist. But his slow pace meant he had to look for a different way to tell stories.Ten Very Big Books podcast See 34:30 Growing up, some of his favourite comic books included Weird War Tales and The Haunted Tank.Interview with Dark Fantasy Legend Steven Erikson - See 9:45
*During a stop on a 2018 book tour, Erikson stayed in a converted monastery outside Paris. In the backyard having a cigarette, he discovered flint Neanderthal tools (a Levallois core and end scraper) over a quarter of a million years old on the ground.Ten Very Big Books podcast See 30:50Not A TSACast: Fireside Conversations with Steven Erikson Ep#2 podcast See 1:05:00 Pictures and an essay about the find can be found here.
*In an April 2020 interview, Erikson said he had recently pitched a science fiction television series called The Shear alongside author Bennett R. Coles. As part of the pitch, they produced a feature length pilot script.Not A TSACast: Fireside Conversations with Steven Erikson Ep#2 podcast See 13:55 and 1:10:00 The pitch was not picked up, and in May 2020 Erikson reported that he and Coles planned to raise funds through Patreon and publish the story as a webcomic.Not A TSACast: Fireside Conversations with Steven Erikson Ep#3 podcast - See 56:00
*Erikson went to the same Winnipeg high school as fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay, although they did not know each other. Erikson's older brother was one of Kay's classmates.Steven Erikson Talks Building Malazan, Facebook Post, & More - see 30:20
*Erikson's parents were originally from Sweden and his father was a chef with his own television cooking show in Winnipeg in the late 1960s. The same studio produced a ventriloquist show that attracted visiting puppeteers. According to Erikson family lore, a young Jim Henson visited the studio and witnessed one of Erikson's father's live shows. His father's thick Swedish accent, mustache, and chef outfit led the family to believe that he may have been the inspiration for Henson's Muppet character, the Swedish Chef.Ten Very Big Books podcast - House of Chains - see 45:40
*Erikson does not like to go back and reread his work, and has never reread the entirety of the Malazan Book of the Fallen since it was originally written. At times, he has had reread parts of books or chapters to prepare for current projects, but he finds the process can be intimidating. "I don't know if I'm as good a writer now as I was then...I was really, I guess, creatively on fire...Maybe parts of that fire have burned out. I'm very leery of going back to stuff I've written because that may well have been the peak or the prime of my writing abilities...It's been strange of late to be talking about books that I wrote twenty or thirty years ago because it does feel like that was some other person who wrote that stuff. Certainly wasn't me." One exception was the Kharkanas Trilogy where he reread the entirety of Forge of Darkness and Fall of Light to prepare for Walk in Shadow after a long hiatus. "There was a lot going on there linguistically that I had to sort of try to recapture: the rhythms, the patterns, and sentence structure, all that kind of stuff. It's a very stylised trilogy. So I literally forced myself to go back and read them."Interview with Steven Erikson, Best-Selling Author and Archaeologist - Systems Change Alliance - See 41:00
*Erikson has a long simmering idea for a "fun" historical fiction story called "The Last Vandals on Earth". It would feature the last six members of the historical Vandal tribe "on the run fleeing desert tribes...heading towards Jerusalem." He says it would be "a comic, dark kind of novel" whose characters would consist of a squad "halfway between Malazan Marines and [the] Trygalle Trade Guild." He already has one chapter completed, but has lost track of it over the years.Ten Very Big Books podcast - Reaper's Gale - Conversation with Steven Erikson - See 41:15
*When asked to name his favourite of Erikson's books, Ian C. Esslemont says he has a "warm spot" for Gardens of the Moon by Erikson because so much of it came from their gaming and the screenplay they did together. But he also cites Toll the Hounds as a favourite because "it sort of has everything in it, all of the different aspects of the world are together."A Sojourn at our Humble Tavern for a conversation on the Novels with Ian C. Esslemont! - Smiley's Podcast - See 1:14:20 Erikson's favourite Malazan book by Esslemont is Blood and Bone.Reddit Ask Me Anything session July 2022
*Erikson says he and Esslemont "sat and...worked out a lot of the early ideas of the Malazan stuff" in a restaurant called Pagliacci's when they were students in Victoria. "We would go there for lunch and we would talk Malazan." "What's amazing about it is when you go into the restaurant everything you see is essentially unchanged from the early 80s, it has not changed its decor at all. It's like a time capsule."Conversation on Malazan with Steven Erikson and AP Canavan (aka A Critical Dragon) - Green Team of the Legendarium - See 6:25
