Thanks much for this.
I can still remember Ellison coming onto alt.binaries.ebooks back in the late 90s and telling all of us off. A man with writing of such quality that even his insults were a literary achievement.
As good as his writing was, I don’t think he really ever understood market forces or what market over-satuation was. Aside from raging against piracy, he was always extremely angry when writers worked for free, without understanding that, for many writers, if you don’t start off working for free, you’ll never work. He’d probably hate Royal Road for example.
In his day all you needed was wit, insight and a typewriter and (like the boomers of modern times, with their persistent belief that you only have to try a little and success will drop into your lap) Ellison just couldn’t understand that those days are long gone.
I miss him all the same.

Thanks glenne3 for the torrent(s) and erouting for your comment. You both reminded me of this author, yet another I have been meaning to get back to.

I read this book and Deathbird Stories when I was a teen, and they changed my life, mainly because of Ellison’s moral urgency. After reading the intro to Strange Wine, for example, I swore off television, and basically watched nothing on TV for almost 15 years, roughly 1980 to 1995. His story about Kitty Genovese ripped me up inside (though now I know the Kitty Genovese story was fiction even before Ellison got hold of it).
Sure, Ellison was rather a crank. But he had something real. I appreciate what he gave me.

Nice one, glenne, & commenters.
He was a contentious little chap.
From what I saw of tv from 1980-95, Harper, you didn’t miss much. Apart from p’haps the fall of the Berlin Wall & Mgt Thatcher getting the heave-ho.

I briefly met him in 1983 at the Stonybrook Univ Sci Fi Convention. He seemed a little uptight, but was polite. I love his “I have no Mouth…” story & “City on the edge…” but dont know much else. Appreciate the comments about him, and look forward to listening to his other writings, even though he would likely be telling us all off here with his “literary insults”! :) Thanks for sharing Glenne!

At around 80% the quality falls off a cliff and the book starts repeating itself, skipping words and generally behaving like an old, worn tape.
