Pioneering science fiction writer Philip Jose Farmer , who won a Hugo in 1953 for Most Promising New Talent for his disturbing story, The Lovers, died today at age 91.Best known perhaps for his Riverworld series (winning the Hugo in '72 for the first volume, To Your Scattered Bodies Go), he's also known for his World of Tiers stories and for the Wold Newton sequence ( previously ), in which he tied together pulp heroes such as Tarzan and Doc Savage and even Sherlock Holmes to the same genealogy. His exploration of sexuality helped elevate the field above its pulp origins. Good entry about him at Wikipedia
