{"product_id":"2940000208045","title":"Lint","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve Aylett has always gone a step farther than his contemporaries. In \u003ci\u003eSlaughtermatic,\u003c\/i\u003e he pushed the limits of science fiction, and for that he was named a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award. Now, in \u003ci\u003eLint,\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eLint\u003c\/i\u003e transcended genre in classics such as \u003ci\u003eJelly Result\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Stupid Conversation,\u003c\/i\u003e becoming a cult figure and pariah. Like his contemporary Philip K. Dick, he was “blithely ahead of his time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAylett follows Lint through his Beat days, his immersion in pulp SF, psychedelia, and resentment, his disastrous scripts for \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePatton,\u003c\/i\u003e 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 “Lint is dead” rumors, which persisted even after his death. This hilarious mock biography is outrageous and remarkably funny, Aylett is an Evelyn Waugh for our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Snowbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182513733872,"sku":"2940000208045","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940000208045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
