Anyway, pleased to meet you.
Pleased as well! SF writers are mostly badasses, so you probably are too! Ever did one on Dick or Delaney? Being my favourites...
Dick, one of my favorites too, was dead before I got into the mix, though I have a lot of material about him. Btw, Dick went insane on Tom Disch once upon a time, and ratted him out to the FBI for supposed mind control and other wackiness, but really was just pissed thinking Disch had plagiarized him.
Delany otoh, is someone I have done a lot of work with, including producing a short feature of him doing readings of his work. It's called "Atlantis, and other New York Tales," and it can be found on my youtube site, along with lots of my other stuff. Also, I introduce Delany to another filmmaker, Fred Taylor, who did a more biographical doc about him called "Polymath." For my stuff, just search by the title to get there... at least until I get a sig line up with the link.
And thanks for the kind words.
