I'm glad there is - III

Harlan Ellison

I watched the new documentary "Dreams With Sharp Teeth" shortly before I left for Tanglewood, and it prompted me to bring some of his stuff with me for the trip. It's an excellent account of the man, amusing and informative. The original music is written and performed by the great Richard Thompson. HE's writing is by turns eloquent and coarse, shocking and elegant, and it always demands that the reader engage with the ideas on the page. One of the authors I discovered early who has stuck with me.
