[net.sf-lovers] "Venus on the Half Shell is by P.J.Farmer"

jjm (02/16/83)

	The title says it all.

	He has written several stories under the names of 
	other author's fictional characters...

	Including John Watson, M.D., Phileas Phogg (from around
	the world in 80 days), Lord Greystoke (Tarzan of the Apes),
	and others.

	Most of these stories are excellent parodies/satires of the
	original style the character appeared in.

	I believe some of these pseudo-pseudonym stories are included
	in the collection "Riverworld and Other Stories", which 
	also contains a discussion of why he writes them, and some
	of the names he has usurped.

	I hope this ends the discussion.
