| 1 | Stephen R. Donaldson is an American writer of fantasy, science fiction and detectives whose works have been noted as being very far towards the cynical end of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism. His personal website can be found [[http://www.stephenrdonaldson.com/ here]], and is notable for the lengthy "gradual interview" which has allowed a lot of readers to send him questions over the years. Among his published works are: |

| 4 | * ''Mordant's Need'' (fantasy) |
| 5 | * ''The Gap Cycle'' (science fiction) |

| 9 | !!Works by Stephen R. Donaldson with their own pages: |
| 10 | * ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfThomasCovenant'' |
| 11 | * ''Literature/MordantsNeed'' |

| 15 | !!Other works by Stephen R. Donaldson contain examples of: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * ClassicalAntihero: Mick "Brew" Axbrewder from the ''Man Who'' series is a self-pitying alcoholic. |
| 18 | * SameFaceDifferentName: The ''Man Who'' series was first published under the pseudonym "Reed Stephens" at the insistence of the publisher, to draw a distinction from his SF works. |
| 19 | * ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld: He has stated that he thinks there are only two kinds of people, those who care about something outside of themselves and those who don't. Sure enough, in his stories anyone who holds to some sort of outside value or ideal, even if it's [[NobleDemon a twisted one,]] tends to be at least somewhat sympathetic, while the real villains are [[ItsAllAboutMe completely self-centered.]] |
