An underground
Science-Fiction author of
bondage and inspired
sexual tension on other planets. These stories are mixed with
sword battles and the training of human
female slaves on the planet Gor.
Born John Lange in
Chicago Illinois June 3rd, 1931, he is best known for his
Gor Novels! Ths series span 25 books written from 1967 to 1988, plus three installments of the Telnarian Histories, two other fiction works, and a
nonfiction paperback entitled
Imaginative Sex.
The
Gor novels' book covers are always filled with
paintings of fantastically clad women, which rival most
pulp fiction for
risque art. Communities of
Dom & Sub people seems to be thriving in
role-playing situation on
irc, using many of John Norman's ideas as reference to
a way of life.
Perhaps you may find John Norman's ideas
chauvinistic, or maybe even
misogynist, but he is willing to explore an area of
human sexuality and
psychology that is both a
taboo subject in
North-America as well as inventive and
erotic. Other authors who have written such literature include
Anne Rice (
I do not beleive that it makes a difference if the author is a male or female when the idea, 'reality,alternate-world forging' content of a book is being scrutinized).
John Norman received his
Doctorate from
Princeton and served for several years as an
Associate Professor of
Philosophy at a prestigious
New York University. Several million copies of his works have been printed and he has been published in several languages. Two feature-length
motion pictures have been based on his work. Much of his writing has been
censored and
banned periodically throughout his lengthy career. Despite the ongoing efforts of
censors to silence him, his work has attracted a large following both in his native
United States and throughout the rest of planet Earth
