@Grey9man He was such an excellent writer and had such a keen mind. I think the only film I've seen himin was Equinox. Was he in many films? His father, of course, was a well-known Shakespearean actor, and I believe that H. P. Lovecraft actually saw his father in some Shakespeare production.
Fritz leiber is brilliant I highly recommend his books regarding fafherd and the grey mouser amazingly skilled author. I think it is pronounced lie-ber. Because in the German language ie is pronounced e whereas ei is i
he sounds like a remarkable writer i will have to look him up thank you for bringing him to my attention.think your make-up is brillant always brings a smile to my face.thanks again good sir.
@MrKARSEERUS Thank you for your lovely comment. I like having a lot of weird fun with my videos, but I am dead serious when it comes to writing and writers.
Hey Puggs! I have that book too. Like the guy below me, I believe LIEber is the correct pronunciation. That's so awesome that you wrote to him! He is DEFINATELY one of my favorite authors. I love The Big Time, The Dealings of Daniel Kesserich, Conjure Wife and so many of his short stories. (Not so big on Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stuff though.) That book has got to be the coolest thing you own. Which of his collections is your favorite?
Your pronunciation of Leiber (with a long 'I' instead of a long 'E') is correct. I have a couple of his Lanhkmar books in audio format, and this is how his name is pronounced on those, as well as various other sources I have heard over the years. Thanks for highlighting his work with this video!

@psmangus Thank you for this. I find it curious that no one has posted interviews with him from sf conventions, &c. He was a fine gentleman.
