Thank you Bear, that was an incredibly interesting read.

It's also worth to read the comments below the interview, they shed some additional light on certain things (like the son of the man who wrote the screenplays to both Gor movies saying that his father, nor the producers have ever read any of the books... which doesn't surprise me at the least.0

For anyone interested in other interviews conducted with John Norman, you may want to visit the Chronicles of Gor site. We will be adding the io9 interview there in due course, and we already have the 1996 New York Review of Science Fiction interview, with David Alexander Smith, the 1981 Questar Magazine interview with Jeffrey M Elliot, an expanded version of that interview published in Fantasy Voices in 1982, last year's Polygraff interview, and I've just added an interview published in the Nucleus 1970 Yearbook (actually published in 1971). You'll find them all at:
