The Mentor 45 - August 1983

I’ve known Harlan Ellison for quite a few years - at first by correspondence and later by calling upon him at his fabulous abode, Ellison Wonderland, each time that I’ve visited Los Angeles. The most recent occasion was last year. As had not been the case on previous visits I had Susan with me. She’d heard all the stories about Harlan. She’d read his article in a Los Angeles weakly newspaper and seen his photograph in the same rag. She was convinced that she would hate his guts. She had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to the Ellison mini-mansion. But Harlan turned on the charm. He just about charmed the pants off her. When we left he gave her a flower from his garden which is more than he’s ever done to me.
