Galache,
Alberto - "Presentación"
A foreword to the 2017 Spanish edition of Inside
Outside,
about this novel and the conflicts therin. He even asks, that if we
know the truth, why we want to live another day: «Y pocos
conflictos existen tan universales como la necesidad de buscar razones
y motivos para continuar viviendo un día más
después de haber aprendido la terrible verdad: que este
mundo en
un infierno.»

Garcia,
Christopher J - "A Box of Influence"
The personal experiences and memories of Garcia with PJF's writings. He
discovered, when twelve years old, the first few books «...in
a
box that I knew I shouldn't be looking into. My pops, he had a box
where he kept the things he'd rather not have Mom and I looking
at.»

Garrett,
Randall - "The Bite of the Asp"
Farmer's story "The Bite of the Asp" had been butchered by the editor
of the magazine, Hugo Gernsback, upon publication in Science-Fiction Plus,
March 1953, as "The
Biological Revolt". Garrett proves that while comparing the
original manuscript against the published story, describing "...how a
good story was ruined...".

Giannini,
A. James - "Afterword"
Giannini
describes the use of 'Tiersian
therapy' with his patients and says about this novel: "..In reading the
fictional re-creation of group process and the individual reaction to
it,
I felt I was an observer in my own therapetic groups. Though Philip
Farmer
has never observed any of these sessions, he has reconstructed them
accurately..".

Greenberg,
Martin H. - "Introduction"
An
introduction to Farmer's life,
study and career and to his major literary themes and obsessions. About
his writing Greenberg says: "His writing is characterized by rapid
pacing,
some weakness of plot, a wonderful use of puns, protagonists who are
deeply
flawed - a quality especially true in his 'heroic' figures - and a deep
cynicism that pervades even his humorous work." The stories in this
volume
are also introduced with a few words.

Greenberg,
Martin H. - "Introduction to "The
Alley Man""
Greenberg
recalls Farmer receiving
the Hugo Award in 1953 for "..the Best New Writer in science fiction.."
and that he lived up to the honor with "..some of the most innovative
work
of the last thirty-five years..". Farmer's story is compared to
Asimov's
"The Ugly Little Boy".

In
the year 1952 Farmer's story
"The Lovers" got published, "..which was too long for inclusion
here..".
So the editors picked another important story that "..is almost as
remarkable
as the former story in its own way..".

Greenberg,
Martin Harry & Milstead, John W. & Olander, Joseph D.
& Warrick, Patricia - "Introduction to "The Sliced-Crosswise
Only-on-Tuesday World""
Much had been written about overpopulation and the rising problems with
that. «...Rarely does a story project a future of
underpopulation, nor do many demographers today predict this future for
the world's population. This coincidence of demographic projection and
the science fiction writers' vision makes such stories as "The
Sliced-Crosswise Only-on-Tuesday World" sociologically meaningful as
well as fascinating reading...»

Gunn,
James - "Read On! Read On!"
Essay. Phil Farmer's story "Sail
On! Sail On!"

Gunton, Sharon
R. - "Farmer, Philip José 1918-"
After a very short introduction, "...Farmer's most intriguing work,
known as the Wold Newton Series, plays with the concept of time and
reality, mingling fictional characters with real people...", there are
several excerpts of critical essays and reviews. Articles from Leslie A. Fiedler, Franz Rottensteiner,
Claudia
Jannone, Russell
Letson and J.A.
Sutherland, and three reviews, from The Times Literary Supplement
on The
Fabulous Riverboat, by Ross Rosenberg on Jesus
on Mars and by Thomas M. Disch on Dark
is the Sun.
