: Just saw Jack Vance on the SciFi Buzz show on the SciFi Channel, and I'd say that in referring to his work he came across as arrogant and elitist. Of course, I couldn't argue with his discription of his fans as (paraphrasing) intelligent, sophisticated and cultured.
I haven't seen the show, but I imagine that you are referring to the fact that Jack doesn't like to discuss his own works. Perfectly understandable, as everyone experiences and appreciates them in his own way. He certainly is far from arrogant.
