P. C. Hodgell

b. 1951 · American fantasy novelist & former academic

Patricia Christine Hodgell (born 1951) is an American fantasy novelist and short-story writer, and a former academic. Since God Stalk (1982) she has been building the long-running Chronicles of the Kencyrath sequence, which reached Deathless Gods in 2022; Seeker’s Mask (1994) is the third book in it. Her scholar-characters argue about knowledge and what it costs — which is exactly the register this line comes out of, rather than any popular-science broadcast.
