<DIV>Bold and uncompromising, <I>Gentleman Junkie and Other Stories of the Hung-up Generation</I> is a watershed moment in Harlan Ellison&rsquo;s early writing career. Rather than dealing in speculative fiction, these twenty-five short stories directly tackle issues of discrimination, injustice, bigotry, and oppression by the police. Pulling from his own experience, Ellison paints vivid portraits of the helpless and downtrodden, blazing forth with the kind of unblinking honesty that would define his career. Reviewing this collection, Dorothy Parker called Ellison &ldquo;a good, honest, clean writer, putting down what he has seen and known, and no sensationalism about it.&rdquo;</DIV>
