	Ellison biography
		Harlan Jay Ellison was born May 27, 1934, in Cleveland, Ohio, younger of two children of Louis Ellison and Serita Rosenthal.
		The Ellisons were, he says, the only Jewish family in their hometown of Painesville, Ohio, a fact that figures prominently in much of Harlan Ellison's writing, both fiction and nonfiction.
		Ellison's science fiction was a direct descendent of his pulp gangland dramas: jarring, often violent, sometimes mixing disquieting psychological elements with pointed, anti-authoritarian political commentary.

	AOL & Harlan Ellison announce settlement

		Both AOL and Ellison are pleased this case was able to draw the courts' and the public's attention to the issue of online piracy and advance the legal issues relating to copyrights in the digital world.
		Ellison said: "Through this litigation, I have come to realize that AOL respects the rights of authors and artists, and has a comprehensive system for addressing the complaints of copyright holders.

		Ellison has spent his entire adult life creating thousands of tales of the fantastic and illustrating the hard lessons of reality in words.

		All this is Harlan Ellison's environment and, in a way, his mind – both of which he opened up to visitors for a few hours on an unusually sunny day recently.
		Ellison conceived of and edited the groundbreaking collection "Dangerous Visions," which in the late 1960s yanked science-fiction writing out of the mothball-scented future of creaky space operas and transported it into the blurred hyper-reality of breathtaking, serrated-edged storytelling.
		Ellison went to see Simenon's publisher – who hemmed and hawed in a French accent and finally admitted that, well, the idea was discussed, but Simenon never actually wrote a novel in a pub.

	Editorial
		While Harlan was in Lester and Evelyn del Rey's kitchen slaving away during that pivotal year of 1955 at "Glowworm"--which critic James Blish once called "the single worst story ever published in the field of science fiction"--I was engaged in a more literal act of creation.
		I once heard it said, in reference to poetry, that the difference between minor and major artists is that a minor artist is someone who's been hit by lightning once in his or her lifetime, while a major artist is lucky enough to have been hit three or four times.
		Harlan has been hit by lightning so many times that it's a surprise that it is not his hair that stands on end, rather than mine as I read his words.

	Locus Online: Commentary by Philip Shrosphire
		Harlan dismissed my arguments and others concerning this lawsuit with the remark: "Hell hath no fury like the uninvolved." In fact, I am not uninvolved with the Internet; I believe in the Internet strongly, in that it has allowed me to become my own publisher.
		Harlan, arguably the greatest self-promoter in genre fiction and its greatest theatrical performer (those acting gigs aren't just good looks god knows), isn't a fan of the Internet as far as I can tell, but more on that later.
		Harlan's exact quote from Pages was this: "We've done what everyone said was impossible: police the Internet." Two points here: first, and this has to go with the way that Harlan conducts his so-called righteous lawsuit compared to how the magazine 2600 conducts what I think is a legitimately righteous lawsuit.

	PopMatters Books Feature \| Lost in the Islets of Langerhans: In Search of Harlan Ellison
		When it was released in 1996, many complained that Ellison was taking the opportunity to rewrite history, repaint the past in a light far more favorable to Ellison while kicking a dead man who couldn't defend himself or refute the charges.
		And unlike the heavy metal icons, Ellison didn't risk revilement from a multitude of fans fretting over how they were going to get their latest cockrock fix without having to travel down to the local retail outlet to buy a CD.
		Otherwise, Harlan Ellison faces the dilemma of being a legend not of his own time (or mind), but a fable faded into the writing woodwork.

	BookBag@theLogBook.com: The City On The Edge Of Forever
		Harlan Ellison's complete original script, with revised drafts, for the legendary Star Trek episode is presented in its entirety, along with lengthy essays by Harlan on the story's creation and the rewriting of its already storied history by various other parties, including Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.
		This volume reprints the original draft, and several subsequent revisions, of Harlan Ellison's multiple-award-winning, career-defining, critically acclaimed, and seemingly life-ruining Star Trek script, The City on the Edge of Forever.
		Gene was instrumental in the mythologizing of the supposed troubles with Harlan's script, after all, and all things being fair, Harlan takes more than his allotted shot back at Star Trek's creator, also taking shots at virtually everyone else involved in the show.

	Amazon.com: I, Robot : The Illustrated Screenplay: Books: Harlan Ellison,Isaac Asimov (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ellison's script for I, Robot, dubbed "the greatest science fiction movie never made," was actually written in the late 1970s but floundered because of supposed high production costs and other assorted difficulties, which are explained in the introduction.
		Ellison and Asimov make a helluva combination, and although Ellison's script may never make it to the screen, having this beautifully illustrated edition of it is almost as satisfying.
		Ellison's introductory essay is certainly not as vitriolic as his story about what happened to his "Star Trek" script "The City on the Edge of Forever," but it does recount the bizzaro world of movie making.
