Harlan Ellison is a name I’ve heard mentioned a lot. I get him confused with Hunter S. Thompson in the same way that I get Omar Sharif mixed up with Laurence Olivier, and Orson Welles mixed up with George Orwell. In other words, I get him confused with someone else because my brain works oddly. Anyway, someone posted a url for Ellison Webderland: The 3 Most Important Things in Life on a mailing list and so I went and had a look. Quite funny, very American, I thought. Not sure why that strikes me as being very American, but it reminds me of some old guy sat outside an ice cream parlour telling stories in some Stephen King collection. Only the writing is better.
