RIP Harlan Ellison

[ironymaiden]

He was a complicated dude, and my friends have had conflicting experiences with him. More negative than not. I always thought of him as a talented asshole, and therefore never wanted to meet him.

But since he's gone, here's a story of his kindness from a reliable source.

One can be an asshole even when doing good things! He seemed to revel in the asshole persona, anyway.

I had decided a couple of weeks ago I wasn't keeping any of his books that I had.
