    Extractions: Use of this excerpt from TO YOUR SCATTERED BODIES GO Chapter One 1 His wife had held him in her arms as if she could keep death away from him. He had cried out, "My God, I am a dead man!" The door to the room had opened, and he had seen a giant, black, one-humped camel outside and had heard the tinkle of the bells on its harness as the hot desert wind touched them. Then a huge black face topped by a great black turban had appeared in the doorway. The black eunuch had come in through the door, moving like a cloud, with a gigantic scimitar in his hand. Death, the Destroyer of Delights and the Sunderer of Society, had arrived at last. Blackness. Nothingness. He did not even know that his heart had given out forever. Nothingness. Then his eyes opened. His heart was beating strongly. He was strong, very strong! All the pain of the gout in his feet, the agony in his liver, the torture in his heart, all were gone. It was so quiet he could hear the blood moving in his head. He was alone in a world of soundlessness. A bright light of equal intensity was everywhere. He could see, yet he did not understand what he was seeing. What were these things above, beside, below him? Where was he?

27. Philip Jose Farmer: Riders Of The Purple Wage
    A discussion of the importance of social context in philip jose farmer's Riders of the Purple Wage.  
    http://www.strangewords.com/archive/purple.html
    
    Extractions: The Purple Wage Sometimes we need to look back in order to see what's coming up ahead. Back in 1984, we were re-reading Norman Spinrad and John Shirley to put William Gibson's Neuromancer in some kind of context. Everything had changed with publication of Gibson's startling book, but it was not divorced from the great Stream of literature stretching back to H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. The more things change, no matter how much or in how radical a way, they do indeed stay the same. And howsoever they change, in science fiction and elsewhere, they do so in parallel to the way the Culture is evolving. To understand the way modern science fiction is evolving, there are a number of source texts from the last fifty years which are instructive. Of particular interest is Harlan Ellison's important anthology of then cutting edge fiction, Dangerous Visions . From the airy heights of 21st century wired society, it is interesting to see that the modern stuff we are so proud of in science fiction literature is in there. Nothing exists or evolves in a vacuum, and Dangerous Visions is a representative collection of the forward-looking writers of the 1960's, an admirable context to ponder how we got here. And, perhaps, where we are going. One of the most powerful stories in the collection is Philip Jose Farmer's

29. Alt.pulp FAQ: The Wold Newton Family
    An entry in the alt.PULP FAQ mentioning philip jose farmer's Wold Newton Family. Includes a list of all of the stories that constitute this creation.  
    http://www.thepulp.net/PulpFAQ/farmer.html
    
    Extractions: Q. What is Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton Family? A. Farmer's idea of the Wold Newton Family was put forth in "Tarzan Alive" and "Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life," his two "biographies" of those characters. Basically the idea is that in the 1700s a radioactive meteor landed near Wold Newton, England. The radiation affected the occupants of two nearby coaches. The descendants of these people became the real-life heroes and villains that are the basis for almost all the major and minor literary heroes of the last couple of centuries, including such diverse characters as Fu Manchu, James Bond, Travis McGee, most of the pulp heroes, the Scarlet Pimpernel and others. Of course the stories we have read about them are exaggerated fiction, so that most people think them wholly fictitious. Some people like this concept, many do not. Farmer has written several works linking these people together (like the "The Adventure of the Peerless Peer" and "The Other Log of Phileas Fogg") and there was a short-lived fanzine, "Wold Atlas, devoted to the idea. There is a western author named J.T. Edson who has incorporated Farmer's Wold Newton ideas. In his series of books, several of the characters are part of that "family," including Captain Dusty Fog. If anyone has more info on them, please let us know.

30. KURT VONNEGUT: Kilgore Trout
    The true story of Kilgore Trout, a fictional science fiction writer created by Kurt Vonnegut, and championed by philip jose farmer in Venus on the Half Shell. Includes a short interview with Vonnegut, and a list of all of Trout's books.  
    http://www.duke.edu/~crh4/vonnegut/vonnegutia/trout/index.html
    
    Extractions: Kilgore Trout was bom in 1907 of American parents on the British island of Bermuda. Trout attended grammar school there until his father's job with the Royal Ornithological Society terminated. The family moved to Dayton, Ohio, where Trout graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1924. Thereafter, he wandered around the country, workng at menial low-paying jobs and writing science-fiction in his spare time. His only known residences during, this period are Hyannis, Mass., Indianapolis, Ind., and Ilium and Cohoes, N.Y. He has been married and divorced three times and has one child, Leo, a veteran of Vietnam. As of 1974, Trout has written one hundred seventeen novels and two thousand short stories. Yet until recently he was little known. This regrettable situation is due to Trout's extreme reclusivity and his indifference to the publication of his stories. He was ill-advised in his choice of publishers, the chief one, World Classics Library, being a firm specializing pornographic novels and magazines. This ensured that his works would be distributed only to stores specializing in this genre. Yet Trout's work, with one exception,* contained no explicitly erotic content. Without Trout's permission or knowledge, World Classics Library put lurid covers on his novels and used his short stories as fillers in ''girlie'' magazines.

32. Riverworld
    Reviews of the five 'Riverworld' series novels by philip jose farmer.  
    http://www.geocities.com/simon750_1999/index.html
    
    Extractions: A series of novels by Philip Jose Farmer Riverworld is one of the biggest ideas in the history of Science Fiction. SF is usually about big ideas (or at least, Big Dumb Objects) but this one is unique, a scenario that is huge in scope. In one of the books, the author, or at least his literary clone, muses on the idea and wonders how many books he would have had to write to do the concept justice. He decides that he is fortunate that he never thought of it... The idea is very roughly this:- Every single person who has ever lived from 100,000 BC to the present (well, not quite - read on!) is reincarnated. They awake naked on the banks of the river, a river that snakes back and forth across a world that is definitely not Earth. The Riverworld is somewhere much closer to the core of the galaxy than Earth, if it is even in the galaxy we know. Giant stars can be glimpsed at noon, and at night the sky is ablaze with nebulae. Hundreds of thousands of stars can be seen with the naked eye when the sun sets. The planet has no axial tilt (and therefore no seasons) and its day is exactly 24 hours long. It seems that the whole planet has been designed and molded to house billions of human beings along the length of one rivervalley. There is no other life but fish, and vegetation that has been modified to suit the planet.

    Extractions: Standard introduction for Postscripts to the Belated Reviews Belated Reviews PS#19: Philip Jose Farmer When readers won't be satisfied with the number of books or stories that their favorite authors have placed in their universes, fan fiction results. Sometimes it's not that the readers can't get enough, so much as that they feel that the author got it wrong. Sometimes fan fiction results from the desire to mix and match favorite characters to have Dr. Who appear on the Enterprise, for instance. Philip Jose Farmer has made a career out of writing fan fiction professionally. 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. And even when the only universe he's playing in is his own, he still overlooks no opportunity to mix and match. He does it well, with a quirky combination of absurd premise and careful attention to realistic detail. Philip Jose Farmer has been writing since the early fifties, but I'd place his best work in the seventies. Among his books: "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" (****) is placed on the ultimate mix-and-match stage though the actors are drawn from history, not fiction: a literal afterlife. The place is the Riverworld, a possibly artificial world with an impossibly long river snaking over it. Along this river, everyone whoever lived, from primitives to people slightly in our future, is resurrected simultaneously. Necessities are provided, by what might as well be magic, and humanity is left to work out its second chance. The hero of the story is Sir Richard Francis Burton, the explorer who is best remembered today for his translation of the Arabian Nights. With numerous other familiar names from all of history, he sets out to discover the secrets behind the Riverworld its reason for being.
