Why doesn't /lit/ love Harlan Ellison more? Anonymous 04/02/26(Thu)10:34:37 No.25183147
I just started reading this, and it's fantastic. I only regret that I got the 2024 version, with a foreword by Patton Oswald seething about the evils of internet trolls. I'm on "Riders of the Purple Wage" right now, and it's excellent.

One of the forewords is by Asimov, and it talks about how the first time he met Harlan, Harlan said to him "You're not so much." And then Asimov dabbed on him for being a manlet.

It's not...the cover has big chunks torn out of it. However the previous owner cared enough to put it in a plastic sleeve to preserve what's left of it. Most of it is intact. I bought it for...$40 CAD, I think? From a used bookstore.
