Synopsis
Whether it is in the inventiveness of his science fiction or the charades of his literary revisionism, Philip José Farmer's work has always been characterized by humor, psychological playfulness and sexuality. Winner of the highest accolades in science fiction, three-time Hugo Award winner Farmer has taken his place alongside Tolkien, Asimov and LeGuin, with his unconventional and ambitious Riverworld series. In this edition, he reveals the story of his rise in the science fiction field and presents, with new introductions, a sextet of his best stories and a newly revised novel. The context for these selections is as unpredictable as their author: a World's Fair of the 21st century, dedicated to the work of Philip José Farmer and described by the author himself!
