"Not only philosophical and analytic reflection can be found hiding out in SF but even the work of revaluation and reinvention of artistic genres and styles. Against the yawning horizon of contemporary narrative D. Harlan Wilson turns up the vertical contrast of poetic prose. I was invited by my students to visit, as the one it takes to know another one, his laboratory of endopsychic science fiction. Following the deferral of my resistance to the proposed transference of recognition value, I finally did enter. But what took me by surprise was not as much the visualizable elements of the fictional world/word or its intellectual properties—served up on a splatter—as the exploration of poetic style carried forward, to my mind, from a recent repressed past of invention. The Scikungfi Trilogy is our continuity shot wit Ezra Pound's The Cantos." Laurence A. Rickels, Sigmund Freud Professor of Media and Philosophy at the European Graduate School and author of I Think I Am Philip K. Dick, Nazi Psychoanalysis and The Vampire Lectures
"Pedestrian and irrelevant. Tripe. Guaranteed to never win the Pulitzer." Satisfied Reader
"D. Harlan Wilson writes with the crazed precision of a futuristic war machine gone rogue. He is devastatingly good." Lavie Tidhar, author of The Bookman and Camera Obscura
"A dark, trippy tale that pays homage to the past masters." Fred Olen Ray, cult writer/director of Alien Dead, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Bikini Frankenstein and Buck Rogers Begins
"Believe the hype this time. D. Harlan Wilson has more talent than you can throw an axe at." Will Elliott, award-winning author of The Pilo Family Circus
"The techno-absurdist futurity of The Kyoto Man and the Scikungi Trilogy manifests an infrequent, if nonexistent, phenomenon, notwithstanding narratives that have been deemed as such by educational and publishing institutions for their own dubious ends: high literary science fiction." Lofton Gitt, author of The Pale Escarpment |
