HAZEL, Paul

HAZEL, Paul
(1944-)
   US writer whose Finnbranch Trilogy makes use of some sf devices, though primarily a Celtic fantasy about a hero - and underworld god - named Finn, told in a dense, difficult style which nevertheless has very considerable power. The first 2 vols, Yearwood (1980) and Undersea (1982), are moderately orthodox, though recounted with unconventional intensity, but the third, Winterking (1985), is set in an ALTERNATE-WORLD version of a contemporary USA riven by the numinous presence of gods and threatened by terminal transformation; in this respect the book resembles John CROWLEY's Little, Big (1981). All 3 vols have been assembled as TheFinnbranch (omni 1986 UK). The Wealdwife's Tale (1993) is fantasy.
