He’s best known for his science fiction works, but Harlan has also penned mysteries, non-fiction, teleplays, film scripts and comic books. He gives some readings from some of his novels; he knows exactly how to present the work at its best and with the exception of one famous Outer Limits episode (Demon with a Glass Hand (1964)) it’s spoiler-free, so even if you've yet to experience Ellison you can safely watch it.
Some people will call him an opinionated prick. Sure, he is, but he’s the kind of opinionated prick the world needs: the formidable kind that tackles those who deserve it head-on and says out loud what others are afraid to say.
