strona 12

Lois McMaster Bujold – amerykańska pisarka science fiction i fantasy. Sześciokrotna laureatka nagrody Hugo , otrzymała również trzykrotnie nagrody Nebuli i Locusa oraz Mythopoeic Award.

Bujold zawdzięcza swoją popularność przede wszystkim cyklowi powieści „Saga Vorkosiganów”, nazywanego również „cyklem barrayarskim”. Powieści są utrzymane w konwencji space opery, choć w późniejszych częściach cyklu występują również elementy kryminału i romansu. Twórczość w dziedzinie fantasy to przede wszystkim nagradzany minicykl o Świecie pięciu bogów. Książki Bujold są szczególnie cenione za skomplikowaną i wartką akcję, interesują fabułę, humor i złożonych psychologicznie bohaterów.

Twórczość Bujold została dotąd przetłumaczona na dziewiętnaście języków. W Polsce jej książki są publikowane przede wszystkim przez wydawnictwo Prószyński i S-ka . Krótsze teksty były publikowane m.in. w czasopiśmie „Nowa Fantastyka”.

Bujold mieszka obecnie w USA, w stanie Minnesota. Jest rozwiedziona, ma dwoje dzieci. Wikipedia
