'Star Trek' scriptwriter Harlan Ellison, master of sci-fi literature, dies at 84
As best-selling horror master Stephen King put it in a tweet Thursday:
"There was no one quite like him in American letters, and never will be. Angry, funny, eloquent, hugely talented. If there's an afterlife, Harlan is already kicking ass and taking down names."

Hopefully the 2017 biography of Harlan Ellison will be made more widely available, soon.

“Everybody has to have one troll,” Nat Segaloff says. “If I didn’t I’d think I was doing something wrong. Harlan of course collects them like a magnet and iron filings. But maybe someday if I’m really good I’ll have two trolls.”

Unlike you, he didn't wave his hands, throw tantrums, make sonorous statements of Importance -- then delete them. One cannot take your drivel seriously. You remain a fortune-cookie slip. What do you mean 'popular demand'? Reb Segeloff's biography was published in a limited edition (still available for about $130.00), and, because Reb Ellison is a pivotal figure in scinematic thought, it should be made more available. You are asking not to have dialogue, but to advance your coy efforts to sell powdered water, then delete them.

Private collectors will often make available copies from their collection. If you're not interested -- which, obviously, you are not -- then why perpetrate your encapsulated snideness?

The most up-to-date current bibliography of all of Reb Ellison's work is at:
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?25
The bibliography at HarlanEllison.com is 11 years out-of-date, but the site is useful.
Susan Ellison has encouraged the development of a complete annotated bibliography (including translations and cover art), which, with computer technology, could be put together.
He was well aware of the fact he was a Yehu'di, and several friends of his said Kaddish today.

So uch of Harlan Ellison's writing had autobiographical elements, I'm very familiar with much of his life, but a full scale biography will be a good read, no doubt about it.

But, Ellison also evokes the "Karla rule":
An Edge In His Voice... A Voice From The Edge.
"...Etiquette tips on how to talk to a writer, to wit: 1) never inform the writer you can’t find his or her books; 2) don’t share your personal needs and problems; 3) take care of personal hygiene, please; and 4) don’t read the writer’s personal life into the stories..." -Harlan Ellison

Here is a nice find, Harlan Ellison in his own voice, circa early 1980s. I haven't read this since that time period, but it was a bit I would return to often... Ellison at his candid, most readable conversational tone:

I was talking to Woody Allen the other afternoon... and he looked at me out of the middle of a conversation about something else entirely, and he asked me, "How come they've never given me a Hugo award? Whaddaya think, anti-Semitism?"
"But I've done so much fantasy and science fiction," he said. "Sleeper was pure sf. So was Zelig. And what about that flying saucer at the end of Stardust Memories? Or the fantasy subtext of A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy; or the sperm fantasy segment in Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Etcetera)? I bet if L. Ron Hubbard had written Purple Rose of Cairo they'd have given it a Hugo . . . I mean, it is sort of a hip, updated version of Typewriter in the Sky..."

"In Part 1 of Woody Allen: A Documentary, which aired last night on PBS (Part 2 airs tonight), documentary maker Robert Weide tells Allen that Sleeper was the first time he ever heard the term “cloning.” Allen nods and says that’s why he felt the need to include a scene explaining it; no one at the time knew what cloning was. Now, of course, Allen jokes, everybody clones..."
"This exchange reminded me of Harlan Ellison’s argument that Woody Allen is partly, maybe even primarily, a science fiction filmmaker":
"Can I be the only reader of fantastic literature to perceive that Woody Allen has been, and continues to be, one of our best filmic interpreters of the je ne sais quoi we call “the sense of wonder”? Surely not. Surely some other observer of the flickering screen image has stumbled on this obvious truth! But I search in vain through all the treatises on Woody, and I find no support for my theory... But nowhere does anyone simply say, 'This guy has a for-real science-fictional-fantasy outlook'..." -Harlan Ellison
"Ellison calls Sleeper and Zelig and The Purple Rose of Cairo “pure SF,” and contends that many of Allen’s other films have science fiction and/or fantasy elements..."
"Since Harlan Ellison wrote the above words in 1987, Allen has made Deconstructing Harry, Melinda and Melinda, and Midnight in Paris – all movies that, when you think about it, are essentially science fiction films. Hell, one might even argue that Woody Allen is one of the premier science fiction filmmakers of the last fifty years..." -Matt Thomas

Why would you possibly omit "known" or place it in brackets? It's a necessary part of the sentence.

And while we're on the subject of grammar, "so he grasp" is also incorrect (unless one goes by the name of "Cheetah," of course). Let's see if you can rephrase that correctly as well.

"Showed his support" is proper English.
"Made his support" is gibberish.
Correct English is not a matter of what NancyGene, myself, or anyone else "prefers."
Nor does your oft-repeated claim that "language is flexible" excuse your functional illiteracy and the consequent abuses of our language which arise from it.

inviting him to do a set of poems and music.
As for trouble and violence, the bar staff shuts that down quickly and

About a million miles away.

Impromptu is spelled wrong. This is one long run-on sentence! “I and the others”, “kind of”, “both” and “as well as” are used wrong.
> I'm in favor, pretty much, of the idea of keeping the foul language out, as was our former hosts, but not nearly so heavy handed (and money driven) as they were.
How much is “pretty much” and does that have a place in formal writing? “As was our former hosts” should be “as were…”.
> I think any poet worth his or her salt
Big-ass cliché.
> can manage to create poems, express ideas without using the various "F" "S" & "G-D" words and still get the message out, and in fact, I feel that it's the mark of a truly great poet to be able to express and convey ANY thoughts whatsoever, be they sexual, dark, what have you, without these words and actually come out with a better piece of work to show for it anyway.
“and in fact” should not be used here. “to show for it anyway” – how would you know this? Citations?
> If you get my drift.
Cliched writing, really bad. What if they don’t get your drift?
> What is on the table,
Cliché.
> and the first volume already out probably by the time you read these words,
But maybe not?
> is a monthly poetry collection, known as Mysterious Visions Anthology, published by Ian Shires (6733 Erie Ave./Madison Ohio 44057) and edited by me.
This address doesn’t seem to exist now. The guy is manager of “Self Publisher Association”. Edited by you is not a mark of excellence.
> This is in effect,

> a PRINTED poetry reading each month, with new and established poets of all stripes,
Another cliché. What kinds of stripes do your poets have?
> giving a good view of the whole of poetry, both locally here in Shadowville, as well as
You are misusing “both” and “as well as” yet again. Your GED is jumping up to bite you.
> around the country. I'm holding to the no bad words thing
“no bad words thing”. How about a better description of “the thing”. You are a terrible writer.
> myself here (though there's no hard and fast rules
“There are no hard and fast rules”, but that is also a cliché.
> against them, just if you use words like that, make 'em COUNT) and to get to the point, I'm soliciting your submissions.
Who decides if a shit or damn counts? “and to get to the point” – why are you off the point?
> Make sure your poems are TYPED, "camera ready". There of course will be extra special exceptions to this rule, but, by and large,
Make sure but there are exceptions, so this really means submit anyway. “By and large” is another cliché.
> we're gonna be pretty strict about that.
How strict is “pretty strict”?
> Subject matter is pretty wide range,
You should not use “pretty” again here, and of course it should be “wide ranging”.
> but poetry that centers on metaphysical of symbolic, the "mystical", "spiritual", and "visionary" stuff,
What is “metaphysical of symbolic”? Please define “stuff”, which should not be in your writings.
> will of course catch my eye
Another cliché.
> more than sing-song doggerel. Just send some stuff, don't be afeared!
How about some fecal stuff? “Afeared”? Really?
> About the "homage," (a French word meaning roughly: tribute)
For your more stupid readers.
> Ellison edited the ground breaking and justly famous short story anthology Dangerous Visions,
Never heard of it. It wasn’t taught in college.

Why would anyone care?

How many people do you think are from or in Ohio? “Straight from the heart” as in Bryan Adams?
> Meanwhile,

How could they forget if they didn’t know it in the first place? Define “non-depressing”.
> So don't be a stranger!
You are an awful writer. You need an editor.

You bring in a Star Wars reference for some reason to end your compilations of cliches?
Will’s writing ability has not improved after 17 years, and this example from 2001 shows no facility with language. It’s a good thing he wasn’t being paid for his contributions.

Oh, right ... it found your writing skills ... lax.
If you were serious about your writing, you would take this as an opportunity to both recognize your faults, and to improve your skills as a writer.

The stories and the anthology itself were nominated for and received many awards. "Gonna Roll the Bones" by Fritz Leiber received both a Hugo Award and a Nebula Award for Best novelette, whilst Philip K. Dick's submission "Faith of Our Fathers" was a nominee for the Hugo in the same category. Philip José Farmer tied for the Hugo Award for Best Novella for "Riders of the Purple Wage". Samuel R. Delany won the Nebula for Best Short Story for "Aye, and Gomorrah..." Harlan Ellison received a special citation at the 26th World SF Convention for editing "the most significant and controversial SF book published in 1967."

I like Lewis' "Out of This Silent Planet" trilogy and Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" (also several of his short stories). Boorman's book version of "Zardoz" is also a big favorite. Wells' "The Time Machine," Huxley's "Brave New World" and Orwell's "1984" are, of course, included on my list. I also enjoyed the first three of Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guides."
Oddly, most of the short stories and novels I studied in the sci-fi class left me flat (including a short story by Heinlein): LeGuin's "The Left Hand of Darkness," Dick's "The Man in the High Castle," and ... some other outer space book.
