Talk:Harry Harrison (writer)

message: I have no idea which came first - A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! or Tunnel Through the Deeps - otherwise I would have put the "originally published as" tag in. Hopefully someone who does know will come across this article (or I'll find out somehow, and remember to update it) sheridan 21:59, 2005 Mar 17 (UTC)
:A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! was the original title of the novel, for its first American publication. I am not familiar with the title Tunnel Through the Deeps.
::A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! was serialized under that name in Analog (Apr, May, Jun 1972); Deathworld 3 as "The Horse Barbarians" (Analog Feb, Mar, Apr 1968); and Technicolor Time Machine as "The Time-Machined Saga" (Analog Mar, Apr, May 1967).
::Bill, the Galactic Hero was originally published in substantially shorter form (omitting the entire "Helior" subplot) as "The Starsloggers" (Galaxy Dec 1964). Pjr37 06:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Since some works have more than one title it seems that some are not on the right order or with the right comment...
: It doesn't give the original publication date, but rather the first book (as opposed to magazine) publication. Someone needs to to find an ANALOG magazine back-issure list.
I'd question the wisdom of listing the "Stainless Steel Rat" series by internal chronology rather than by date of publication, since the later books are so much lesser in quality.
The link in the following text is broken:  "Plague from Space (1965)"  The hyperlink doesn't go anywhere, and I can't fix it because I don't know where it should lead the user.  Hopefully, someone else will be able to fix it.

message: The article does not mention Harrison's being an atheist. He described himself as such on his Web site, and he described the trouble that he had getting The Streets of Ashkelon published because the hero is an atheist. Is it worth mentioning? Apepper (talk) 12:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thing about the past need to be written in the past tense. This is pointedly true now since Mr. Harrison is dead. "Harrison describes" does not make any sense.98.67.108.12 (talk) 16:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

message: [Lester_del_Rey|Lester del Rey] - silly. Just put [Lester del Rey] for Lester del Rey. This works just fine. It is amazing how many convoluted wikilinks there are in the Wikipedia, and how obvious how many of them are twice or thrice as long as they needs to be.98.67.108.12 (talk) 16:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

message: This article lists his name as Henry Maxwell Dempsey, but there is no source for that. Also, his children are named Harrison. Does anyone know where this information came from? AppleInYourEye (talk) 06:49, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's common knowledge; enough so, for example, to make it into his New York Times obit. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:34, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I've just come into possession of an anthology published by Hamlyn in 1979 entitled "Adventure Stories for Boys". The book is a reprint of one published in 1967. Amongst the stories is one entitled "Spell of Magic" attributed to Harry Harrison, the title page indicates that some of the stories including "Spell of Magic" had been published previously either in Eagle or Boy's World sometime around 1963. The storyline features a stage magician working for Interpol chasing down diamond smugglers in the Mediterranean. It is not however listed on Harry Harrison's website. This looks like an area for further research, but as I am not located in the UK, I am posting the basic information here just in case someone else can find out more.

message: Three long quotes from Priest's obituary is an excessive amount of quotation from one source to the point that it might raise copyright issues. At least some of this content should be summarized and used along with other sources rather than quoted. Haukur (talk) 13:39, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
