Love him or hate him, he's brilliant....
My friend Robert provided me with this link. It's a good blog piece about my fave author:
Harlan Ellison: The Original Hollywood Rebel
I first discovered his work when I picked up my dad's copy of "Strange Wine" in high school and was just blown away. It's not just the intricacies of the language, which are considerable, but the imaginative concepts that are so original as to leave one flabbergasted. When you read one of his stories, you GO to whatever world he has created no matter how outrageous, and if even for a brief time, nothing else exists.
