[net.sf-lovers] Harlan Ellison and Frank Herbert

yteitz@aecom.UUCP (Yosef Teitz) (10/26/84)

As far as Herbert goes, I must agree that he is definitely
not one of the most awesome of writers.  On the other hand...

HARLAN ELLISON

I recommend anything that this man has wrote, and if you can
get your hands on a slightly obscure book by Keith Laumer
called "Five Fates", it includes stories by Laumer, Ellison,
Herbert, Dickson and Anderson.

Keith Laumer wrote a one page start of a story, and the all
five of them wrote separate short stories using it as the 
basis of their story.  One can see their divergent styles
just by analyzing each of their first paragraphs.

One more thing:  If anyone has a way of obtaining some of
Ellison's older books, send me a message.

	You can't always get what you want,
	But if you try sometimes you just might find
	You don't get it anyway.
