I HAVE THIS NIFTY IDEA ...Now what do I do with it? This book
contains outlines for science fiction and fantasy novels which real
authors (new and old) used to sell their books to major publishing
companies . . . actual examples drawn from authors files, not
idealized versions prepared just for a textbook. Whether youre a
beginning writer looking to break into novels, an experienced
professional seeking new tools and techniques to sell books, or a
fan curious about the remarkable thought-processes of some of the
great genre writers of our time, you will find something here which
enlightens, educates, and entertains you. I Have This Nifty Idea is
the perfect addition to every library of books on writing. Includes
work by Robert Silverberg, David Brin, Joe Haldeman, Mike Resnick,
Robert J. Sawyer, Barry N. Malzberg, Kevin J. Anderson, Charles
Sheffield, Katharine Kerr, Jack Dann, Jack L. Chalker, and many
more.
Through the tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs, generations of readers
have thrilled to the adventures of Lord Greystoke (aka John
Clayton, but better known as Tarzan of the Apes). In this biography
Philip José Farmer pieces together the life of this fantastic man,
correcting Burroughs’s errors and deliberate deceptions and
tracing Tarzan's family tree back to other extraordinary figures,
including Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Doc
Savage, Nero Wolfe, and Bulldog Drummond. Â Tarzan Alive
offers the first chronological account of Tarzan's life, narrated
in careful detail garnered from Burroughs’s stories and other
sources. From the ill-fated voyage that led to Greystoke's birth on
the isolated African coast to his final adventures as a group
captain in the RAF during World War II, Farmer constructs a
comprehensive and authoritative account. Farmer’s assertion that
Tarzan was a real person has led him to craft a biography as well
researched and compelling as that of any character from
conventional history. This definitive Bison Books edition also
includes Farmer’s “Exclusive Interview with Lord Greystokeâ€
as well as “Extracts from the Memoirs of ‘Lord Greystoke’â€
first anthologized in Mother Was a Lovely Beast.
