Philip
José Farmer in his introduction: «It came like a
hot flash while reading a passage in Henry Miller's Big Sur and the Oranges of
Hieronymus Bosch. Damon Knight, who bought it for Orbit 3, wasn't
sure what it meant, and neither did, or do, I.»
DESCRIPTION:
Orbit 3:
"The author says this story is a 'polytropic paramyth' - a sort of
literary Rorschach test, in which different people may see different
things. It was inspired by a line in Henry Miller's Big Sur and the Oranges of
Hieronymus Bosch,
which Farmer quotes from memory as follows: "There are diamonds born
during the night in violent storms." See what it means to you; then try
it on your friends."
