Living Legend
Reception for Philip José Farmer
This reception
was given on May 19, 2001 in honor of Farmer winning the
Grand Master
Award. It was organized by the Peoria Public Library, together
with Michael
Croteau, the webmaster of The
Official
PJF Home Page.
On his site
you can find a report of the Living Legend Reception.
Michael also
made a booklet about this reception, see here.
The original
announcement from SFWA President Paul Levinson reads as follows:
"I'm delighted
to announce that our new Grand Master for 2001 is Philip José
Farmer.
Beginning
with his publication of "The Lovers" in the August 1952 issue
of Startling
Stories, Philip José Farmer has pioneered the exploration of
crucial
human
relationships
and dimensions in science fiction, and inspired
generations
of writers from Chip Delany to Jonathan Lethem.
This highest
honor of SFWA is voted upon by all former Presidents and
current
members of
the Board of Directors. Previous SFWA Grand Masters include
Robert A.
Heinlein, Jack Williamson, Clifford D. Simak, L. Sprague de
Camp,
Fritz Leiber,
Andre Norton, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Alfred Bester,
Ray Bradbury,
Lester del Rey, Frederik Pohl, Damon Knight, A. E. van Vogt,
Jack Vance,
Poul Anderson, Hal Clement, and Brian Aldiss."
