Jack Vance published two non-fiction works. The Jack Vance Lexicon (1983) catalogs the invented words and terminology that fill his fiction, a reflection of how central language is to his world-building. This Is Me, Jack Vance! (2009) is his autobiography.
The autobiography is written in the same wry, observant voice that characterizes his fiction. Readers who enjoy Vance’s novels will find the same personality at work in his account of his own life and travels.
