Darice: >Gil, >Did you say Harlan Ellison?!?!?!!?!?
Yup, that cute 5'5" guy. Hard to believe he's 68 this year. >Dangerous Visions?!!?!?!!? That's the one. >I can still remember reading Carcinoma Angels ( and how relevant it was 30 >years later when my husband, who owed a Harley) was diagnosed with cancer. Don't forget "Carcinoma Angels" was written by Stormin' Norman Spinrad, now residing in France. >I also remember Harlan saying that DV #3 was "sitting under his desk"; >this was in 1973 or 4. In the 1980s Harlan hired me to help him get DV #3 out of his office. At that time, Volume 1 was spread along the top of the railing that surrounds the open area of his upstairs office. (Below the open area is the main floor and his pool table.) I spent weeks going through the stories, even retranslated a story from the French -- then realized Harlan wasn't going to get past his writer's block on the introductions. Many of the stories were withdrawn by their authors and published elsewhere. Too bad. When I saw it, DVD #3 couldn't possibly fit under Harlan's desk. Too many words. (Nice illustrations by the redoubtable Tim Kirk, though.) >Even more memories..... Even more cans of worms to open ...
