	Locus Online: Nick Gevers reviews Paul Di Filippo
		Di Filippo is not without profile; his stories appear regularly in major magazines such as Interzone and FandSF, and his eclectic and informative criticism is carried in Asimov’s and on SF Weekly.
		Di Filippo is a flamboyant postmodernist-in the terms of “Harlem Nova”, one of the stories in Strange Trades, a bricoleur, a scavenger of huge volumes of cultural detritus, which he rearranges as entertainments with a flashy glib surface and impertinent heterodox depths.
		Di Filippo deserves to be read anew, read for what he is: an enormously gifted conjuror of meanings, whose lightness is of a Pynchonesque profundity, and whose encyclopedic appropriation of popular culture is utterly discriminating, ebulliently on target.

	Interview: Paul Di Filippo (Author, Shuteye for the Timebroker)
		Paul Di Filippo is a veteran and versatile writer, to say the least.
		Paul continues to write fiction (both short and long), and is a regular contributor of print and screen reviews with the online magazine Science Fiction Weekly.
		Paul Di Filippo: The path I've taken through the publishing jungle has been harsh at times, and certainly full of quicksand and deadly vipers.

	Article: Playfully Perverting Consensus Reality: A Critical Chronology of Paul Di Filippo's Fiction, by Claude ...
		Di Filippo's first book, The Steampunk Trilogy (1995), is comprised of three thematically connected novellas inspired by re-imaginings of the nineteenth century.
		Di Filippo has often said that writing SF and fantasy comedies and satires is his default mode, that he can write these with little effort.
		Di Filippo's fiction is at its best when it makes brash use of cognitive dissonance, and this comedy of manners isn't much concerned with such ideas.

	Paul di Filippo - Babylon Sisters and other posthumans.
		Di Filippo is one of the foremost short story writers in SF, and has to date produced several small press anthologies [ details ], often with a loose theme holding the collection together.
		Di Filippo suggests a mind-swap, in which a killer is reprieved from the death penalty by having a surrogate take his place.
		Di Filippo uses the chimeric twins to full (erotic) effect in the story, and manages to structure the story through the main character relating the story with only occassional interruptions from his new friends.

	Ribofunk
		Di Filippo's answer to the first question is quite arbitrary, that one must only have 51% or more human DNA to be considered human, and all other genetically modified creatures with 50% or less human DNA may be treated like any other animal.
		Di Filippo must not have realized that most if not all primates have 51% or more DNA, and would thus be classified as humans in his futuristic world.
		Di Filippo tries to develop a type of futuristic slang for his characters throughout Ribofunk similar to nadsat slang in A Clockwork Orange, but it's more annoying than anything.

	FRACTAL PAISLEYS, by Paul Di Filippo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The stories are united by Di Filippo's fascination with the infinite variety of alternate worlds: "what-if" scenarios that place an ordinary Joe or Jane in command of the forces that power the universe.
		Combining Philip K. Dick's paranoia and Douglas Adams's whimsy, Di Filippo both parodies conventions of the SF genre and takes readers on an exhilarating ride to a fantasy realm where literally anything is possible.
		Paul Di Filippo is known throughout the world of science fiction as one of the funniest, most original — most off-beat — writers published today.

	Paul Di Filiipo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Paul di Filippo is one of the most outrageous stylists working in the field of science fiction today.
		This is a novel that just screams for an intelligent and patient and appreciative audience, all the reasons why it could not have been successfully published by one of the major multi-national conglomerates who these days decide with their cowardice and avarice just what we should be allowed to read.
		Di Filippo may be trying to show us a way.

	Paul di Filippo's Fuzzy Dice. The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Web Site
		The only problem with this movement is that Paul does not know exactly how this yo-yo works and so in making his desires felt to the yo-yo in fairly general terms Paul does not find what he truly desires.
		Paul has arrived in a Primal Seed, a proto-Universe and encounters the beings responsible for forming this Universe.
		The main character of Paul is screwed up, he's fairly depressed at the beginning of the story and seems to think his dreams have come true with the chance to leave his homeworld and find another better dimension more suitable to his needs.

	Paul di Filippo's Little Doors. The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Web Site
		Resisting neat classification, Di Filippo's fiction spans genres — from cyberpunk to alternative history to playful musings on the postmodern condition (whatever that may be).
		But Di Filippo's writing is more than just a pyrotechnics show, and his stories offer profound, often biting insights.
		Di Filippo has the answer for this and a myriad of other quandaries that are bit out of the ordinary.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Strange Trades
		Di Filippo explores a variety of science-fictional jobs, some strange due to technological advances, others due to marginal or experimental economics, others because they're set in unusual milieus.
		One of Di Filippo's favourite themes is people living on the edges of society, or in the cracks.
		Di Filippo is a compulsively engaging writer -- witty and imaginative, and fond of his characters, so that they are fun to spend time with, and fun to root for (mostly!).

	4.11: Ribopunk
		Paul Di Filippo is pushing science fiction into the biological realm - preparing us for the gene-spliced landscapes of the future.
		But Paul Di Filippo, himself a first-wave cyberpunk, thinks the movement has ignored the biological in its bias toward gadgets.
		Di Filippo calls his emerging science fiction subgenre "ribofunk." With the publication of Ribofunk, a collection of his short stories, Di Filippo may be in a position to help alter the sci-fi landscape once again - and with it, how we think about where biotech is taking us as a species.

		Author Di Filippo is the inventor of--or, at least, most innovative practitioner of--the science fiction sub-genre of "steampunk." In each of these tales--described as "trailer park science fiction" by the author-...
		In his new novel, Di Filippo, cult author of "Ciphers, The Steampunk Trilogy, " and "Ribofunk, " makes his boldest fictional statement yet as he imagines a true erotic revolution, a crusade of the libido that will topple a corrupt and jaded future world order and possibly much more.
		Paul Di Filippo is one of Science Fiction's finest short story writers, wild, witty, exuberantly imaginative; Babylon Sisters and Other Posthumans is a generous showcase of his strange, transformative, and powerful Hard SF visions.

	Paul Di Filippo, Little Doors
		And Di Filippo's skill at wordplay and manipulating the English language is nothing short of Harlanesque at times, but let's face it — there's only one Ellison, and Di Filippo isn't him.
		Di Filippo includes enough description and hints for even one who's just moderately acquainted with Dali to maintain a firm footing — but with the skewed landscape constantly shifting and contorting, it's hard to really be sure what your footing is.
		Di Filippo is one of the most active, dependable authors writing today, and almost his entire output consists of short fiction.

	Golden Gryphon Press - Strange Trades Review
		In his story notes, Di Filippo states that he has abandoned the Strode sequence due to a general lack of readerly support.
		Elsewhere in the collection, Di Filippo moves with deceptive ease through an impressive assortment of themes, scenes, and moods.
		By setting this familiar, Dickensian material on a remote planet visited occasionally by a godlike, technologically advanced entity known as the Factor, Di Filippo turns the story on its head, giving us an authoritative portrait of working class life that evolves, by the end, into a dramatic account of rebellion, revelation, and conceptual breakthrough.

	: RevolutionSF - Strange Trades : Review
		Di Filippo is often pegged as a comic writer.
		Di Filippo, however, is also interested in telling stories about how work can be meaningful, enriching, and (dare I say it?) even fun.
		It's a rich and complex story, and even as Di Filippo evokes sweetly bucolic scenes of after-work picnics and ball games he is also revealing the ways in which the Mill's owners distract their workers from acknowledging their own weariness and despair.

	Paul Di Filippo interviewed - infinity plus non-fiction
		Although I had read individual Di Filippo stories before, I'd never really understood the extent of Paul's comic, pacing, and stylistic genius.
		Paul has also won the BSFA 1994 award for Best Short Story for "The Double Felix" and he was a Nebula finalist for "Lennon Spex".
		A non-genre influence would definitely be the work of satirist Paul Krassner, which I discovered in an omnibus volume during my high-school years, and the allied humor of the original National Lampoon, back when it was actually funny.

		Antoine de St. Exupéry — "Tonio de Saint-Ex" to his many admirers, as dashing in Di Filippo's world as he was in ours — as the pilot who will save the remnants of Western civilization in the aftermath of a devastating plague.
		In Lost Pages, Di Filippo has deliberately selected as protagonists for his nine "alternate worlds" men and women who became known for their work as writers — people of strong character who, whatever their situation, would have proved extraordinary.
		Paul Di Filippo, a two-time finalist for the Nebula Award, is the author of The Steampunk Trilogy, Fractal Paisleys and Ribofunk (all Four Walls Eight Windows).

	A Mouthful of Tongues: Her Totipotent Tropicanalia , by Paul di Filippo (HC)
		"Di Filippo (Ciphers; Ribofunk) transgresses and subverts enough to push SF to its brink, but outside of genre he is nowhere near the erotic edge.
		In a magnificently evoked parallel Brazil, a place of seedy splendor and charismatic lusts, Kerry, or that which she has become, tests her carnal arsenal on targets deserving and undeserving; but the attention of a more powerful agency has been attracted, and a yet stranger metamorphosis awaits.
		A tale of heartbreak, revenge, and liberation, written in Paul Di Filippo's most fantastically effervescent prose, A Mouthful of Tongues is a work of science fiction which crosses boundaries and breaks taboos with brilliant savage abandon.

	Fuzzy Dice by Paul Di Filippo, science fiction book
		Paul Di Filippo is an entertainingly whimsical writer who never seems to run short of gonzo ideas.
		The guy's name is Paul and he seems loosely based on the author, but I am certain that the real Paul Di Filippo is a much more interesting person than this character.
		Di Filippo's two most recent novels, while hardly conventional, are his first that may be readily identified as science fiction: the erotic A Mouthful of Tongues: Her Totipotent Tropicanalia (2002), and Fuzzy Dice (2003), about a bookstore clerk befriended by a dimension-hopping artificial intelligence.

	Fuzzy Dice by Paul Di Filippo
		Paul Di Filippo is best known as an American writer of short stories, collections include 'Ribofunk' and 'The Steampunk Trilogy'.
		One constant in the ever changing world of Paul Girard is that sex and how it happens in each of his chosen places is covered in detail, I've come to understand that reading about sex like this is downright boring.
		At times you feel that Di Filippo's ultimate goal in life is to knock the very profession he finds himself in and perhaps this anti-Midas touch becomes his overriding agenda.
