	Philip José Farmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philip José Farmer (born January 26, 1918) is an American author, principally known for his science fiction and fantasy novels and short stories.
		Many of Farmer's works involve reworking existing characters from fiction and history, such as The Other Log of Phileas Fogg, which fills in the missing time periods from Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, or A Barnstormer in Oz, in which Dorothy's adult son, a pilot, flies there by accident.
		Farmer's works often contain sexual themes: his collection of short stories Strange Relations was a notable event in the history of sex in science fiction.

	Franz Rottensteiner- Playing Around with Creation: Philip José Farmer
		Farmer's is the true courage, for he has the strength to project into the dark where no preformed attitudes wait to support him....
		Farmer is aware of the irony of the situation: he has a "demon" comment in the story that the perverts, to spite their creators, get more vicious all the time.
		Farmer did it so effortlessly, seems typical of him and SF in particular, and the civilization it mirrors in general.

		Philip José Farmer was born in 1918, in North Terre Haute, Indiana.
		Farmer's heroes, just like Edgar Rice Burroughs' or Joseph Campbell's, are very brave, ready to go through bad times, in very exotic places, to fulfill a personal enriching quest.
		Today, Farmer is a best-selling author in the United States and abroad, considered as one of the last great writers from the Golden Age of Science-Fiction.

	Philip José Farmer, The Best of Philip José Farmer
		Farmer was also one of the few science fiction writers of the Golden Age who used humor.
		Farmer also borrows Tarzan (as written by William S. Burroughs, not Edgar Rice); King Kong, as told by a grandfather who was a boy when it all happened; and Henry Miller, who stars in a story that he might have written -- if he were Philip José Farmer.
		It is, however, a superb collection that demonstrates the range and power of one of the most exciting science fiction writers of all time, one who broke all sorts of barriers, not only those unspoken taboos of subject that everyone subscribed to within the genre, but barriers of style and approach.

	Philip Jose Farmer: Riders of the Purple Wage
		Where Gibson's vision lacks social context, Farmer's is all social context, a kaleidoscopic and complex construct that mirrors the scary confusion that the Misplaced Man from a few decades earlier would feel if dropped even a short way into future.
		Sure, the evolution of technology and institutions is pretty straightforward, but the social context mutates in such weird and unpredictable ways that that looking at it from the POV of the past is something like someone who has never seen a television trying to interpret what is going on on the screen.
		Farmer trusts his readers more, throwing them into a deep end of hallucinogenic imagery that is an apt metaphor for the way things end up being after they have changed.

	Yarns Without Threads - Philip Jose Farmer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Although he is a prolific author, some of his output consists of reworking short stories into longer works, or or turning a single work into a series - eventually the series appears to stretch to infinity (note also that each of the four main Riverworld novels is a lot thicker than the previous one).
		By that I don't mean that sex didn't exist in SF before stories such as The Lovers and Flesh, but it consisted primarily of heroic spacemen with rugged good looks rescuing stunningly beautiful young women from fates worse than death at the tentacles of unspeakable aliens.
		Philip José Farmer considered sexual (and romantic) relationships between species, in non-human species, and in human societies very different from those found in conventional literature.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews PS#19: Philip Jose Farmer
		Some of Farmer's books -- some good ones, too -- are placed in his own home-made universes, but he's never so at home as when he's playing in someone else's sandbox.
		Philip Jose Farmer has been writing since the early fifties, but I'd place his best work in the seventies.
		Farmer's other major series is his "World of Tiers" series, consisting of "The Maker of Universes", "The Gates of Creation", "A Private Cosmos", "Behind the Walls of Terra", "The Lavalite World", and now, "More than Fire".

	An Expansion of Philip José Farmer's Wold Newton Universe
		The radiation caused a genetic mutation in those present, which endowed many of their descendants with extremely high intelligence and strength, as well as an exceptional capacity and drive to perform good, or, as the case may be, evil deeds.
		It should also be noted that, although Farmer incorporated the theory that Sherlock Holmes and Nero Wolfe are father and son into his Wold Newton mythology, he was not the first to advance this hypothesis.
		Since Farmer's books fall under the rubric of "fictional biographies," it is useful to list all those which may prove of interest to the Wold Newton researcher (in rough chronological order).
