Editing Glory Road (section)

==Reception==
[[Samuel R. Delany]] called the novel "endlessly fascinating" and said that it "maintains a delicacy, a bravura, and a joy".<ref>{{cite web| title= Glory Road | publisher=[[Powell's Books]] | url= http://www.powells.com/biblio/2-9780765312228-2 | author= Samuel R.

Oscar is married to a ruler in a situation that should be "happily ever after" and the end of many works, yet the novel continues rather than stops: having nothing to do and nothing new to conquer is itself a struggle for Oscar.

''Glory Road'' was nominated for the [[Hugo Award for Best Novel]] in 1964, losing to ''[[Way Station (novel)|Way Station]]'' by [[Clifford D. Simak]].<ref>{{cite web| title= 1964 Hugo Awards | date= 26 July 2007 | url= http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/1964-hugo-awards/ | publisher= The Hugo Awards| access-date= 2014-11-23}}</ref><ref name="WWE-1964">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldswithoutend.com/books_year_index.asp?year=1964|title=1964 Award Winners & Nominees |work= Worlds Without End|access-date=2009-07-27}}</ref>
