Philip Jose Farmer

Born in 1918, Philip Jose Farmer made a career of having fun with science fiction. His prolific works ranged from pulp to pure mischief and earned him such recognitions as three Hugo awards, a Nebula Grand Master, and a World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Farmer was considered to have started the genre known as Wold Newton-a form of fiction that reworks personalities from history and fiction. He incorporated such characters as Phineas Fogg, Tarzan, Doc Savage, Richard Burton, Samuel Clemens, and Jesus.

Many of his works were classified as erotic novels and along with Theodore Sturgeon, Farmer is considered one of the history makers in bringing sex into science fiction.

He also wrote under the name John Watson and once adopted the name of Kurt Vonnegut's fictional writer-Kilgore Trout-to pen a novel and leave readers to wonder at its authorship.
