“Count the Clock That Tells Time” ( a devastating tale about wasting precious time in one’s life - and nominated for a Nebula); “On the Slab” (a retelling of the Prometheus legend); “Hitler Painted Roses” (the doors of Hell swing open, and only those with good PR get a break); “Mom” and “Working With the Little People” (two of Ellison’s funniest, the first involving Navi g Jewish mother who is haunting her son); “Django” a beautiful mainstream story); “ All the Birds Come Home to Roost” (an unnerving tale about a man who begins meeting all the women he had relationships with in his life, in reverse order). Every one of those stories knock it out of the park, as do at least 12 others from a posthumous collection, ELLISON UNDER GLASS, a collection of stories he wrote in the windows of various book stores. You either haven’t read much Ellison or your idea of good is beyond the pale. Here’s a short quote from my very favourite window story, “From A to Z, in the Sarsaparilla Alphabet”, a story in 26 parts that deals with gods, religion, humour and hatred, racism and and strange, supernatural happenings: “The metaphor. A small, unruly beast with paper breath and bones of conjecture.” That’s not just great writing, that’s f#@king lyric poetry. And you, sir, are a clueless drongo.

Love Harlan, but I never read one of these window stories that were any good.
Just the fact that he could do it under these conditions was impressive.
What about 'Repent,Harlequin'? That's gotten a lot of attention.
@@pendorranRepent Harlequin is arguably his best story but, while it was written in 6 hours, I'm pretty sure he did not actually write it in public.
