Marion Zimmer Bradley

Marion Zimmer Bradley fue una reconocida autora estadounidense, conocida principalmente por sus obras en los géneros de fantasía y ciencia ficción. Nació en Albany, Nueva York, en 1930 y se graduó con una licenciatura en Hardin Simmons University en Abilene, Texas, en 1964. Bradley comenzó a escribir profesionalmente en 1952, vendiendo su primera historia corta a VORTEX SCIENCE FICTION. Escribió en varios géneros, incluyendo ciencia ficción, fantasía, y también produjo algunas novelas de pulp fiction gay y lésbico bajo seudónimos.

Bradley es más famosa por su serie Darkover, la cual está situada en una colonia perdida de la Tierra donde los poderes psi se han desarrollado de una manera unusual. La serie comenzó con la publicación de su historia de 1958, The Planet Savers, y desde entonces ha crecido para incluir muchas novelas escritas por Bradley y otros autores. Además de su trabajo en la serie Darkover, Bradley también editó la larga serie de antologías Sword and Sorceress, la cual dio a muchos jóvenes autores, incluyendo a Mercedes Lackey, su inicio en la publicación.

Las opiniones feministas fueron un tema común en la ficción de Bradley. Su novela de 1983, The Mists of Avalon, es una retelling de la leyenda de Camelot desde el punto de vista de Morgaine y Gwenhwyfar, y es probablemente su novela más famosa individualmente. El libro creció en una serie, la cual ha continuado apareciendo después de la muerte de Bradley en 1999.

Es importante notar que la reputación de Bradley ha sido manchada poshumamente por múltiples acusaciones de abuso sexual de su hija Moira Greyland, y por presuntamente asistir a su segundo esposo, el convicto Walter Breen, en abusar sexualmente de múltiples niños no relacionados.
