If you do, you've probably read his fantasy series, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.
Donaldson had a style of writing ...uniquely his own in that series, which showed what can
happen to a man under the influence of thesauri. In a recent discussion of Donaldson in
rec.arts.sf.written, Joel Baxter illustrated his style as follows:
"Some coffee, Mr. Covenant?"
"No!" he panted, glaring. The gelid liquid was anthraciously black,
atramentous, nigrescent as his carious and macerated soul. "No," he
groaned. "Do you hear? I will not!" Shaking, he fumbled for his empty
mug, clawing at it with numb hands like blocks of rotted wood. Finally,
gasping, he closed his fingers on the malefic vessel, upending it, then
ramming it downward to the table again... violently stopping the
irrefragable, ineluctable maw with intransigent formica. The sudden
whipcrack sound threw a refulgent oriflamme of pain across his sight,
and he closed his eyes with a febrile shudder. "No," he whispered. No
more. No more.
"All righty then, I'll be right back with your check!"
