McCaffrey, Moorcock et Silverberg rendent hommage à Farmer.

Extraits :
"Anne McCaffrey, creator of the Dragonriders of Pern series, was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2006.

I am very sorry to learn of Phil Farmer's death. I vividly remember reading his first story and reminding myself that this was a new author to watch out for. Then we both had stories up for Hugos and were tied that year. Good company to be in, and I'm sorry he won't be around anymore, but he will be remembered.

Robert Silverberg, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning writer, was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 2004.

His work was revolutionary in its time and still holds much for modern readers. He was a splendidly original writer, one of the giants of science fiction, and a grand human being. It was a privilege to know him.

Michael Moorcock edited the British science fiction magazine New Worlds, which heralded the New Wave movement, and is the creator of the fantasy hero Elric of Melniboné.

Phil was one of the first sf writers I ever read and enjoyed—The Green Odyssey—and I became a great fan. We ran his "Jungle Rot Kid on the Nod" in New Worlds—William Burroughs writing Edgar Rice Burroughs—and I thought it was brilliant. He was a writer with a wide talent and wide tastes which he combined to provide his readers with a huge amount of top quality fiction. And he was a very nice man. He graced the field he made his own."
