zotzDue to a certain local being outed as some sort of fan (or at least an owner), I had a quick peek at the Wikipedia to see what it has to say about John Norman and whether he's dead yet. Apparently he's a philosophy professor. That's something I didn't expect. Even worse, he seems to have been writing books again, after a long break since the late eighties. Truly the world is a terrible place.
There were a couple of interesting pages linked off his entries, one being a whiny letter complaining about not being a guest at the Philadelphia Worldcon (personally I think "he'd be a complete embarrassment" is reason enough, but apparently discrimination on grounds of quality is blatant censorship - and he's a professor of philosophy, after all, so who are we to argue?) and the other being a short parody which may inform those of you who haven't had the delight of reading his works (and save you the effort of throwing one of his books across the room should you find one lying around). So here it is - Houseplants of Gor.
