: 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'm sure we all blushed when Vance described us; I know I did. And as Frank Lloyd Wright is supposed to have quipped, 'Honest arrogance is better than false humility.' He didn't sound like Asimov, anyway. I'd like to see the entire interview uneditted, and it's too bad we didn't get a word or two of his award speech. Or more of the Vance house, which must be amazing.
