Philip José Farmer, January 26, 1918–February 25, 2009
Peoria Journal-Star:
Philip Jose Farmer dead at 91
Stefan Jones says:
This is one of those “sad but not sorry” deaths . . . sad that he’s gone, but what a career! What an amazing diversity of novels and stories!
When I first heard the news, I thought “Riverworld.” Then through the day, I remembered the odd and kinky stories, and the tributes and analysis of Tarzan, and “Riders of the Purple Wage.”
A life not wasted.

RIP!
February 26, 2009, 2:03 amI loved the “river” series…
Ross Presser says:
Oh no, not another one. That makes … at least six of my favorite authors dead in the last four years.

The “River” series was my first SF novel set. Farmer was a wonderful writer and, like many others, will be sorely missed by the SF community at large.
