Asimov VS Tolkien
Zo, what'z everyone'z opinion on Isaac Asimov?
I zink zat he waz juzt like Tolkien, except in science fiction. You'll have to notice zat zey lived at ze same time, juzt took different pathz and stylez; while Asimov swore to himself zat he would be clear in his writing, no matter what, Tolkien choze to write in complicated wordz. While Tolkien only wrote few bookz (az a result of him redoing hiz bookz over & over), Asimov wrote the bookz almozt on firzt draft, not going through many copies before ze final novel waz published. Az a rezult, he wrote hundredz of bookz. However, Asimov iz considered ze "father" of science-fiction, and Tolkien iz conzidered ze "father" of fantasy. Asimov's Foundation series won ze Hugo Award away from LotR, but LotR won "Book of the Century". Zey were alike and different in many wayz... |
