Description
“Ellison is a true virtuoso in his genre.”
PUBLISHERS’ WEEKLY
By law, one cannot copyright a title. If someone were stupid enough to do it, novels could be written and published with such titles as MOBY DICK, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, or GONE WITH THE WIND. But also, by law, ownership of a title can be guaranteed if it can be proved that the original author has established such a connection with the title that any duplication would infringe that linkage. How famous is this most famous of all Harlan Ellison’s books? Well known enough that an English film company was stopped in its attempt to make a movie called I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream. It’s Ellison’s title, the company was told. For more than [fifty-one] years this work has been considered a classic of imaginative fiction. Isn’t it about time you found out why? Discover why no one who has read this story has ever been able to forget it!
