A LIT FUSE: THE PROVOCATIVE LIFE OF HARLAN ELLISON

Nat Segaloff

Limited Edition



"If you have any interest in Harlan Ellison, as a writer or a public figure, this book belongs on your shelf." - Amazon

Revised Second Edition (20,000+ new words)
and now in an exclusive E-book edition.
Nat Segaloff has known Harlan Ellison for 20 years and, for decades before meeting him, enjoyed reading his work. Their first close encounter was when he interviewed Ellison for his A&E Biography on Stan Lee. After that, Ellison appeared as an actor in "The Waldorf Conference," a play Segaloff co-wrote about the origins of the Hollywood Blacklist.

Segaloff conducted exhaustive interviews with Ellison over the course of five years and also spoke with many of his friends and enemies in an effort to get inside the man and pin down the best-known “Harlan stories.” Their wide-ranging discussions cover his bullied boyhood, his storied marriages, his fabled lawsuits, and his compulsive writing process with more depth and detail than has ever before appeared in print. But it also delves deeply into the man’s deeply held principles, his fears, and the demons that have driven him all of his 82 (so far) years. Friends, colleagues, and admirers such as Neil Gaiman, Patton Oswalt, Peter David, Robert Sawyer, Michael Scott, Edward Asner, Leonard Nimoy, Ed Bryant, Alan Brennert, Robert Silverberg, and many other notables add their voices. The new, greatly expanded second edition (A Lit Fuse 2.0)  covers Harlan's and Susan's deaths, the many memorials and appraisals of him and his work, has dozens of additional photos, and an emotional afterword.
