Eckley, Grace - "Waking the Wake in Farmer's "Wage" " Eckley opens his article with: "..Philip José Farmer's novella "Riders of the Purple Wage" profoundly echoes James Joyce's topics and techniques, chiefly in his glittering uses of the pun, from a spattering of languages and nationalities, and in his numerous allusions, plus plot and character and humor. The highly-allusive qualities of the work include allusions and finally references to Finnegans Wake. Particularly delightful for Wake scholars is the parody of themselves, that is, of their Wake criticism as a kind of fetish. Moreover, the story is sufficiently funny, naughty, and bawdy to please James Joyce himself..". Farmerage Vol.1 No.2, October 1978 [Fanzine]

Ellison, Harlan - "Introduction to "Riders of the Purple Wage"" An interesting article with Ellison's very positive opinion of Farmer and of this in his words finest story of the book: "...I am compelled by my awe of the story ...
