Remembering Harlan Ellison (Dave's Weekly Update #244)
Hi, Everybody!
Heeeeeere's Dave:
Donate here, if you're amicable.
I met Harlan at a convention in Madison, WI, where he was appearing with Peter David and Neil Gaiman as the Three High-Verbals. I bought his script for I, Robot, and his story collection Angry Candy. As I was getting ready to hand over my money, his wife Susan asked if I wanted a copy of Hemispheres, the United airlines in-flight magazine, saying, "it's the last one." I said sure, and handed over my money.
When I got up to Mr. Ellison to have him sign my books, he asked if I wanted the magazine signed too. I looked perplexed, and said "yeah. I guess?"
He gave me a look.
I can't describe it, but it was like the look you'd give a cat that hacked up a hairball on the table during Thanksgiving dinner. But not as nice.
He turned to Susan and asked if I had paid for the magazine.
She said yes, I had.
I offered "they told me it was the last one."
Mr Ellison asked me if I knew what it was the last one of?
I said, "no."

Patiently, as if talking to a small child (or the village idiot,) He said that it was an in-flight magazine that contained a short story he had written that was very good and that I'd probably like it.
I said, "oh." and thanked him.
The story is called Incognita, Inc., and it is VERY good, and I REALLY liked it.
Next Time: Man. Aardvarks. Seriously, this time...
