Flaming libtard but a great writer. I still enjoy reading his “Glass Teat” TV columns from the 70’s, lib bias and all. If Ellison were as opinionated a conservative as he is a lib, he and his writings would be banned by the libtard Taliban.

You make some great points about Ellison. He is a raving lefty, but some of his rants are pretty darned entertaining. I remember his review of the movie "Gremlins," which I believe he declared as the greatest evil ever hoisted on society.

You're right, "The Glass Teat" collections were VERY entertaining (he reminds me of a more opinionated, self centered, and "potty mouth" version of Camille Paglia.) In his collections of short stories, I often enjoyed his introductions more than the stories themselves. Mark

Haven’t seen the first book, but I found a copy of “The other Glass Teat” in a discount bin years ago, without knowing that it was a follow up book (not exactly a sequel) or that it was just a bunch of columns. It was a fun read — and at the time, columns were all I had time to read at a stretch.
