@@metalman4393 I've since softened on this stance but yeah more underappreciated than he should be imo. He's far better than basically every pop fiction writer and he's still treated as just some cheap sf writer by the literary critics for the most part.

Hyperion is an absolute masterpiece, and there isn't one interview with Simmons about it!

I've just read Hyperion books, and I'm looking for his interviews about it and I'm really shocked there are basically no interviews of his at all. Such a shame, he really deserves infinitely more attention than he receives... He's an amazing writer.

Read the 'Hyperion Cantos' and just finishing 'Olympos' (sequel to the masterpiece, 'Ilium'). This guy can write. Literary stylist, big imaginative ideas, able to fuse 'canonical' literature (Canterbury Tales, Iliad, etc.) with science fiction. Truly sui generis.

@jamesclements94482 жыл бұрын
After reading the first two Hyperion novels, I get the impression he'd rather have been a poet but realized there's little money in it. One could make a case that his character, Martin Silenus, may be a self portrait in some respects.

Why can't Dan Simmon's novel become movies ? Even computer adventure games would be welcome in the world of science fiction and/or horror. Fallout 3 is a perfect example of sci fi adventure game. Mr. Simmons' and the developer would make millions.

because the book is so long, complex and would require intense CGI. It just isn't possible in a single movie. Maybe like netflix shows with an episode per pilgrim tale

@LucasSumtimes look here child. the diversity is there. of the main characters and side characters there are multiple ethnic groups, genetic variations and and even androids(well cybrids)...it's all in the story. If you're letting racial insecurity detract from your reading experience than you're a bad reader. open your mind and grasp the themes.

Reading hyperion, I do feel like the guy uses the thesaurus a little too often lol. Also weirdly everyone kept raving on about the priest's tale.but it was actually the one I enjoyed least together with the Poet which is a cool character esp the satyr stuff but I hate poerty so much.. Also can't imagine hyperion anything other than as a pretty ugly planet. I know it's tiny but I really hated that he mentions green in the colour of Hyperions sky. It literally colored the rest of my imagination with a dark blue / greenish sky. He says the sky is LAPIS? ...... that's a very saturated but rather dark blue. Dark blue with a tinge of green as the daytime sky? I swear it messes with my mind. Again I know it's small but it really really really bothered me.
