Gentleman Junkie and Other Stories of the Hung-Up Generation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gentleman Junkie and Other Stories of the Hung-Up Generation is an early collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison, originally published in paperback in 1961. Most of the stories were originally published in pulp fiction magazines of the era. Dorothy Parker famously gave it a good review, saying Ellison was "a good, honest, clean writer, putting down what he has seen and known, and no sensationalism about it."
