Philip José Farmer

    26. január 1918 – 25. február 2009

    Philip José Farmer bol americký autor, známy najmä pre svoje romány a poviedky zo žánru science fiction a fantasy. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú použitím sexuálnych a náboženských tém, fascináciou a pretváraním mytológie legendárnych pulpových hrdinov. Občas tiež s nadhľadom písal pod pseudonymami, akoby išlo o fiktívne postavy.
