Twenty seven years in the making, Erik Nelson’s Dreams With Sharp Teeth is a hilarious portrait of Harlan Ellison. The writings of Ellison, like those of Philip K. Dick and Kurt Vonnegut, were once marginalized as science fiction; but now his hugely popular work (nearly 2000 published stories and some of the best episodes of “Outer Limits” and “Star Trek”) has defined its own genre. Ellison’s larger-than-life personality is legendary. His fecund imagination is matched by his nearly limitless supply of outrage.
