……放在故事的最前台，正如 Moorcock 所希望的那样。托尔金（以及他模仿的前现代作品）则把这些元素放在背景里，让读者自己去挖掘。关于 Jack Vance 我很赞同。我推荐《上层世界的眼睛》（Eyes of the Overworld，又名《机灵鬼库格尔》/Cugel the Clever）。
…forefront of their stories, like Moorcock wanted. Tolkien (and the pre-modern works he imitated) put those elements in the background and make the reader dig them out. Agreed about Jack Vance. I recommend Eyes of the Overworld/Cugel the Clever.
任何对 D&D 感兴趣的人都应该明白，它源自 Jack Vance 的《濒死的地球》（Dying Earth）系列小说。我强烈推荐 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eyes_of_the_Overworld
Anyone interested in D&D should understand that it originates from Jack Vance's Dying Earth novels. I highly recommend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eyes_of_the_Overworld
Jack Vance 的科幻/奇幻经典《上层世界的眼睛》（The Eyes of the Overworld）开篇是一个任务：主角要去偷一副魔法眼镜，这副眼镜能让一个浑身沾满屎尿泥巴、以垃圾为食的村落居民，误以为自己是贵族领主和贵妇……
Jack Vance's scifi/fantasy classic "The Eyes of the Overworld" starts with a quest which has the protagonist steal magical eye glasses which make the denizens of a village who literally live drenched in shit and mud and eat garbage believe they are lords and ladies…
经典之作是 Jack Vance 的《濒死的地球》（Dying Earth），但在该系列中我最喜欢的是《上层世界的眼睛》（Eyes of the Overworld），而且你先读这本完全没问题，因为该系列各小说都是独立成篇的。我的看法是，这个子流派从定义上就应该自觉地设定在那个世界或类似的背景下，……
The classic is Dying Earth by Jack Vance, but my favorite of the series is Eyes of the Overworld, and you'd be fine to read that first since the novels of the series are self-contained. My opinion is that the subgenre should by definition be self-consciously set in that world or something similar,…
……像《巫师》（Witcher）但写得很好。Rachel Cusk 的《Second Place》是一部极其狗血疯狂的肥皂剧。这是我读的第一本 Cusk，以后还会读更多。Jack Vance 的《濒死的地球》系列前三本都很棒，尤其是《上层世界的眼睛》（The Eyes of the Overworld），我惊讶地发现它居然极其搞笑。我又重读了一些 Philip K. Dick 的经典，包括《流吧！我的眼泪》（Flow My Tears）和《帕瑟·艾德瑞克的面容》（Stigmata），还有西奥多·斯特金的《人变》（More than Human）。《暗星》（The Dark Star）的前两本……
…Witcher but good. Second Place (Rachel Cusk) was a batshit boilerroom melodrama. My first Cusk, will read more. The first three books of Jack Vance’s Dying Earth series are great, but particularly The Eyes of the Overworld, which I was surprised to find was hilarious. I reread some classic Philip K Dick, including Flow My Tears and Stigmata, and More than Human (Theodore Sturgeon). The first two books of The Dark Star…
