Lansdale,
Joe R. - "Farmer's Tyger, Burning Bright"
A very warm introduction about Philip José Farmer and his
writing: «Sometimes his prose felt dashed off, his ideas not
full
formed, but at his best, which was much of the time, he wrote
beautifully, and interestingly. There were more ideas in a few pages of
a Farmer work than were usually presented in volumes by other
writers.». And also a warm welcome to the novel at hand:
«I
love it. I Recommend it. It is a lucky experience for any discerning
reader.»

novels written over a lifetime.»

Lansdale, Joe R. - "Phil & Bette Farmer, Jack London, a Wife
and
a Baby, a Clean Well Lighted Hotel Room"
Lansdale, who then already was a fan of Phil's work, met the Farmers at
the start of his own writing career. Like the books before, the meeting
also made a big impression on Lansdale.

Lansdale, Joe R. - "Philip
José Farmer: The Man with the Electric Brain"
Introduction about the author: «...He is even better than we
think he
is...», his writings: «...He's stunning. And he's
fun...», and his
role in the science fiction history: «...Before Farmer

Lawler,
Donald L. - "Introduction"
A short biography about Farmer and an introduction to the story "The Sliced-Crosswise
Only-on-Tuesday World":
«...Farmer's elaborately contrived Tuesday world probably
represents the idea behind the story, and it takes readers by surprise.
The result is an immediate sense of disorientation, until we accept
Tuesday world with its unique set of probabilities...».
