Malmont,
Paul - "Foreword"
About Malmont's discovery of Farmer's work: "If I hadn't found Farmer's
Doc
Savage: His Apocalytic Life in the tiny book section of a
friggin' Hallmark card store, the whole trajectory of my life might
have been different."

Mann, George
- "Philip José Farmer"
Entry
plus bibliography. The article
ends with: "...Philip José Farmer has never been an author
to let
himself be bound by convention. The roots of his inspiration may lie
partly
in the SF genre, but his ideas and style are most definitely his own.
Where
Farmer goes, subversive humor follows, though often there will be a
serious
undercurrent bubbling away beneath the text. Then it becomes a matter
of
whether the reader can stop laughing long enough to hear it...".

Marriott,
Justin - "The Memoirs of Lord Grandrith"
Article, discussing one of the four erotic novels that Farmer wrote for
Essex House, A Feast Unknown, "...One
of those books that everyone seems to know about due to its reputation,
but few have read...", and "...There is humour in the book, black-hole
bleak most of the time, typically provided by Grandrith...".

Moskowitz,
Sam - "Philip José Farmer: Sex & Science Fiction"
A
critical and very interesting
essay about the impact of the publication of the novella "The
Lovers" and a historical overview of sex in science fiction
before
and after that publication. Next to this publishing highlight Moskowitz
discusses Farmer's early writing career, his successes but also the
many
problems with publishers he encountered during that time. Sam
Moskowitz:
"...Despite the spontaneous acclaim accorded some of his works, Philip
José Farmer is still underrated ... he is a storyteller of
high
artistry, and at least a few of his works have an air of permanence
about
them...".
