Boing Boing on Harlan Ellison's claims about The Road and plagiarism

There’s a great little slap in the face at the end of Rob Beschizza’s post:

Ellison’s actually done the world a favor here. I love his work, and like many SF readers feel vindication in the modern appreciation of his literary merits. But his new comparison finally cleared something up for me: just how differently a good writer and a great one express similar ideas.

Amen to that.
