(edit) Harlan's story, Chatting With Anubis won the Bram Stoker Award for Best Short Story in 1995. (edit) His story, The Deathbird won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette in 1974. (edit)

Harlan Ellison: Art is not supposed to be easier! There are a lot of things in life that are supposed to be easier. Ridding the world of heart attacks, making the roads smoother, making old people more comfortable in the winter, but not Art. Art should always be tough. Art should demand something of you. Art should involve foot-pounds of energy being expended. It's not supposed to be easier, and those who want it easier should not be artists. They should be out selling public relations copy. (edit) Harlan Ellison: I try to know what it is I'm talking about. I am not like many people who give you an opinion based on some sort of idiot hearsay or some kind of gut feeling you cannot validate. When I give an opinion, I do my best to make sure it is based on information. (edit) Harlan Ellison: The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. (edit)
