This man is a national fucking treasure.

Now I know what Garth Merenghi's Darkplace is based on.

@DataSchlepper Totally. When I heard him say that he was in Sunday school, I was like "WTF?"

Harlan Ellison is a writer who grabs you by the guts and dosen't let go, wether funny, moved to tears and most importantly he makes you think.

[MrBoBoTom]

This is so fucking pretencous yo.

I've be reading Harlan Ellison since the early 1970"s, he never fails to make me laugh, cry, rail about politiics and mostly THINK. Padadin of the Lost Hour is a more recent (1990's) fabulous piece for the new reader and of course the classis Repent,Harlequin Said the Tick-Tock Man.

The story he's talking about, about the man who makes the maps is called "Incognita Inc." It was featured in an in-flight magazine a ways back. I don't know if he's had it republished somewhere else since.

Speaking of books, wtf’s wrong w/ OLD BOOKS? They’ve got letters that look like an italicized F. It’s actually an S. Yes. I’m aware of the thorn and eth rune of Old English or Aenglisc. There’s more documentation for that than there is for medieval letters like that. Unreadable. Even for a true Anglophone (like me). I never gotten wind of it. I bet Harlan can answer since he's the most well-letter'd fella this side of Hawthorne.

Harlan is a genius. A hard working genius. And the world is better because of his work.

One of America's best writers of the late 20th Century - period. Harlan Ellison's reputation will only grow higher and higher as the years pass by...
