  <description><![CDATA[Steve Aylett has always gone a step farther than his contemporaries. In <em>Slaughtermatic,</em> he pushed the limits of science fiction, and for that he was named a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award. Now, in <em>Lint,</em> he offers the first-ever biography of one of the great minds of our time: Jeff Lint, author of some of the strangest and most inventive satirical SF of the late twentieth century. <em>Lint</em> transcended genre in classics such as <em>Jelly Result</em> and <em>The Stupid Conversation,</em> becoming a cult figure and pariah. Like his contemporary Philip K. Dick, he was &quot;blithely ahead of his time.&quot;    <p>Aylett follows Lint through his Beat days, his immersion in pulp SF, psychedelia, and resentment, his disastrous scripts for <em>Star Trek</em> and <em>Patton,</em> and his belated Hollywood success in the 1990s. It was a career haunted by death, including the undetected death of his agent; the controversial death of his rival, Herzog; and the unshakable &quot;Lint is dead&quot; rumors, which persisted even after his death. This hilarious mock biography is outrageous and remarkably funny, Aylett is an Evelyn Waugh for our time.</p>]]></description>

Now, in <em>Lint,</em> he offers the first-ever biography of one of the great minds of our time: Jeff Lint, author of some of the strangest and most inventive satirical SF of the late twentieth century. <em>Lint</em> transcended genre in classics such as <em>Jelly Result</em> and <em>The Stupid Conversation,</em> becoming a cult figure and pariah. Like his contemporary Philip K. Dick, he was &quot;blithely ahead of his time.&quot;    <p>Aylett follows Lint through his Beat days, his immersion in pulp SF, psychedelia, and resentment, his disastrous scripts for <em>Star Trek</em> and <em>Patton,</em> and his belated Hollywood success in the 1990s. It was a career haunted by death, including the undetected death of his agent; the controversial death of his rival, Herzog; and the unshakable &quot;Lint is dead&quot; rumors, which persisted even after his death. This hilarious mock biography is outrageous and remarkably funny, Aylett is an Evelyn Waugh for our time.</p>]]>

It's truly hilarious, causing me to laugh out loud on public transport, and Alyett's use of language caused me to notice how words are used in a whole new way, at least while I was reading it.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Steve Aylett has always gone a step farther than his contemporaries. In <em>Slaughtermatic,</em> he pushed the limits of science fiction, and for that he was named a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award. Now, in <em>Lint,</em> he offers the first-ever biography of one of the great minds of our time: Jeff Lint, author of some of the strangest and most inventive satirical SF of the late twentieth century. <em>Lint</em> transcended genre in classics such as <em>Jelly Result</em> and <em>The Stupid Conversation,</em> becoming a cult figure and pariah. Like his contemporary Philip K. Dick, he was &quot;blithely ahead of his time.&quot;    <p>Aylett follows Lint through his Beat days, his immersion in pulp SF, psychedelia, and resentment, his disastrous scripts for <em>Star Trek</em> and <em>Patton,</em> and his belated Hollywood success in the 1990s. It was a career haunted by death, including the undetected death of his agent; the controversial death of his rival, Herzog; and the unshakable &quot;Lint is dead&quot; rumors, which persisted even after his death. This hilarious mock biography is outrageous and remarkably funny, Aylett is an Evelyn Waugh for our time.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Steve Aylett has always gone a step farther than his contemporaries. In <em>Slaughtermatic,</em> he pushed the limits of science fiction, and for that he was named a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award. Now, in <em>Lint,</em> he offers the first-ever biography of one of the great minds of our time: Jeff Lint, author of some of the strangest and most inventive satirical SF of the late twentieth century. <em>Lint</em> transcended genre in classics such as <em>Jelly Result</em> and <em>The Stupid Conversation,</em> becoming a cult figure and pariah. Like his contemporary Philip K. Dick, he was &quot;blithely ahead of his time.&quot;    <p>Aylett follows Lint through his Beat days, his immersion in pulp SF, psychedelia, and resentment, his disastrous scripts for <em>Star Trek</em> and <em>Patton,</em> and his belated Hollywood success in the 1990s. It was a career haunted by death, including the undetected death of his agent; the controversial death of his rival, Herzog; and the unshakable &quot;Lint is dead&quot; rumors, which persisted even after his death. This hilarious mock biography is outrageous and remarkably funny, Aylett is an Evelyn Waugh for our time.</p>]]>
