Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Venus on the HalfShell and Others collects for the first time the best of the best from Philip Jos Farmer's scintillating 'fictionalauthor period.'In the mid1970s a feverpitched furor was created when an actual novel purported to be by Kilgore Trout the sadsack science fiction writer who appears as a character in the works of Kurt Vonnegut materialized on the bookracks, complete with a mysterious back cover photo of the author looking like a bearded vagabond sage. Debate raged as to who had truly written Venus on the HalfShell. Was it Vonnegut himself, or perhaps Theodore Sturgeon, rumored to have been the inspiration for Trout? Or did Kilgore Trout really exist? Just as one respected newspaper published an article 'proving' that Vonnegut had written the book, the Hugo Awardwinning science fiction author Philip Jose Farmer announced he was the true author.The controversial Kilgore Trout episode was neither the first nor the last time Farmer would impishly slip out of his own skin and assume the persona of another author. In Venus on the HalfShell and Others, Philip Jose Farmer transforms himself into fictional personalities as compelling as they are diverse: Cordwainer Bird, Paul Chapin, Rod Keen, Harry 'Bunny' Manders, Leo Queequeg Tincrowdor, John H. Watson, M.D. and even the reallife author William S. Burroughs (writing his own version of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jungle Lord!). Also included is the original version of Farmer's classic Sherlock Holmes/Lord Greystoke pastiche The Adventure of the Peerless Peer, back in print for the first time in over thirty years.A unique collection, Venus on the HalfShell and Others showcases the grand imagination of one of science fiction's most resourceful and creative minds.
