LINT

Jeff Lint was author of some of the strangest and most inventive
satirical SF of the twentieth century. He transcended genre in classics
such as /Jelly Result/ and /The Stupid Conversation/, becoming a cult
figure and pariah. Like his contemporary Philip K. Dick, he was blithely
ahead of his time.

Aylett follows Lint through hi Beat days; his immersion in pulp SF,
psychedelia and resentment; his disastrous scripts for /Star Trek/ and
/Patton;/ the controversies of /The/ /Caterer/ comic and the scariest
kids' cartoon ever aired; and his belated Hollywood success in the
1990s. It was a career haunted by death, including the undetected death
of his agent, the suspicious death of his rival Herzog, and the
unshakable "Lint is dead" rumors, which persisted even after his death.
