But when someone finally recognizes who — and what — he really is, everything he thought he controlled begins to unravel. The Wounded by Philip José Farmer. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Today on the podcast, we welcome a true original making his debut — Philip José Farmer.
Farmer was born on January 26, 1918, in North Terre Haute, Indiana, and his love of science fiction started early. Like so many writers of his generation, he fell hard for the pulp magazines as a kid, discovering worlds that were stranger, bolder, and more imaginative than anything around him.
Over his career, Farmer wrote almost 60 novels and over 100 short stories, constantly pushing the boundaries of what science fiction could talk about — from religion and sexuality to identity and mythology. He won multiple Hugo Awards, including one for his groundbreaking novel To Your Scattered Bodies Go, and later received the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America.
Philip José Farmer was hugely influential because he refused to play it safe. He expanded the emotional and intellectual range of science fiction — and today, we’re finally welcoming his voice to the Lost Sci-Fi universe with a story that first appeared in Fantastic Universe magazine in October 1954. Turn to page 69, The Wounded by Philip José Farmer…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A down-on-his-luck private detective takes the strangest case of his life when an alien asks him to track down his missing wife. What follows is a whirlwind of body-swapping, mistaken identities, and temptation that’s far more complicated than it first appears. An Eye for the Ladies by Stephen Marlowe.
