FROM THE EDITOR'S PREFACE:
Protean
Dimensions. Two words attempting to describe a writer who eluded the
conventional, side-stepped expectations, and denied even the need for
boundaries. Philip José Farmer liked to kick down the walls that
defined--and enclosed--genre fiction. When that wasn't enough, he
blurred the lines between reality and fiction; just ask Sir Richard
Burton, Mark Twain, Tarzan, and Kilgore Trout...
...Here's hoping The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 1: Protean Dimensions
and subsequent volumes not only prove to be of historical value, but
will help to spark the imaginations of new generations of writers and
readers. That Phil's works will continue to splinter off new worlds,
ensuring his legacy will endure far into the future.
