Harlan Ellison: A Kind of Twisted Fantasy

Friday, May 29, 2009

Don’t call him a science-fiction writer: Harlan Ellison considers himself the heir to Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, and Jorge Luis Borges. As a writer of "speculative fiction," he has turned out hundreds of short stories over the last 50 years. He has also worked on TV shows like the original "Star Trek," and "The Outer Limits." Kurt asks Ellison about his brash reputation and about the documentary about him, now out on DVD, called "Dreams With Sharp Teeth."

I wish your extended interview could play on the iPod. The radio intvu with Harlen was excellent. Can you pls make your site iPod friendly? Thanks. I know, whatever, you can't do it for legal reasons or some conspiracy theory about why the info is only avail in the real player universe, and not the one I'm in at present, still it would be nice if you would consider it. Conversly it would be nice if the iPod wasn't so picky too, but I'm putting the burden on you.

Great show, Mr. Harlan Ellison is a one of a kind author and gives here a wonderful interview. Nevertheless, being an Argentine native myself , I am always puzzled when I hear that Mr. Jorge Luis Borges is described as "a writer from South America" instead of "an Argentine writer"...
