Pulp Crazy

In this weeks episode Chris and Chuck discuss the Farmerian Tarzan, focusing on Philip Jose Farmers official Tarzan projects, Tarzan Alive and The Dark Heart of Time A Tarzan Novel. Farmer was a lifelong Tarzan fan, and while Tarzan Alive is often spoken of, The Dark Heart of Time seems to be neglected. The Dark Heart of Time also gets a bad rap for having extraterrestrial science fiction elements, but as it turns out, thats just Farmer going over most of our heads. In this episode Chris explains that Farmer was actually pulling from preexisting African folk lore and mythology, not just throwing in science fiction elements.
