Recent interview with writer Harlan Ellison woven into context by the interviewer’s previous encounters with Ellison. I met Ellison many years ago (1995 at DragonCon), when he sat next to me at a bench. I moved over, and he said in what I later termed a slightly acerbic tone, “I don’t need that much room!” I think I was too awed to answer, as I’ve long been a fan of his writing.
