Jeff Lint

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It should be noted that Jeff Lint is not real.

Jeff Lint was a pulp SF author published from the 1950s through to the 1990s. Lint has been compared to Philip K. Dick due to his strange world view and limited commercial success.

Lint was the author of books such as Jelly Result and Clowns & Locusts, and satires on US empire politics such as Doomed and Confident. He also authored numerous experimental plays in the late 1960s, including Coffin for Benjy the Bear and The Riding on Luggage Show. He collaborated with the Unofficial Smile Group on a psychedelic concept album, The Energy Draining Church Bazaar.

Other Jeff Lint projects were the surreal 1970s action comic The Caterer, and controversial children's TV cartoon Catty & the Major,[1] which was taken off the air for being too traumatic for children.

Satire author Steve Aylett wrote a biography of Jeff Lint entitled LINT, published in 2005 by Thunder's Mouth and in a new edition by Snowbooks.
