Happy Birthday, Philip José Farmer
Philip José Farmer, one of the major influences on my development as a writer, today turns 90 years old. Happy birthday, Phil!
If you're interested in finding out more about PJF (and why wouldn't you be?), Christopher Paul Carey has a terrific birthday post that serves as an excellent primer on the great man's work.

Whoo! Here's to the Grand Old Man!
Today is Jules Feiffer's birtday, also.
I need to do more literary birthday posts over at Bookseller By Night. Maybe that would spur me to actually keep the darned thing updated.

I definitely could see a bit of the World of Tiers in Paragaea. The joie de vive of Bonauventure owes a little bit, I think, to the equally displaced-but-loving-it Kickaha.

You know, Paul, even though Barsoom and the rest of the Burroughs worlds were the conscious model for Paragaea (with perhaps a bit of Mongo thrown in for good measure), you're probably not too far wrong to assume a healthy bit of Tiers in there, as well. And there's probably more Kickaha in Hieronymus than even I realize.
