The Man Who Met Tarzan, Paperback

Collected here for the first time in print, this book presents the major writings on the Lord of the Jungle by famed Tarzan scholar, and Science Fiction Grand Master, Philip José Farmer. Included are many articles, letters, and prose pieces written over many decades of scholarship by the man who not only wrote Tarzan's biography but was privileged to have edited some of the memoirs written by Lord Greystoke himself.

Grouped in a way that allows the reader to explore different aspects of Farmer's lifelong fascination and investigations, the collection culminates in an actual interview with Tarzan himself. This is the definitive collection, showcasing Farmer's love, admiration, and knowledge of Lord Greystoke, the man we all know as Tarzan of the Apes. Included are a previously unpublished article, a recently uncovered short additional piece of Tarzan's autobiography, and, perhaps of most interest, Farmer's draft notes detailing his preparation for the historic interview, as well as some key annotations he made in the immediate aftermath of the meeting.

With the evidence presented here, who could doubt that Tarzan is real and that Farmer was able to track him down.
