A review by laage
Tarzan Alive: A Definitive Biography of Lord Greystoke by Philip José Farmer, Mike Resnick, Win Scott Eckert

4.0

How would Tarzan's life have looked had he been real and not fictional?

Farmer's work plays with this idea and shows us how Burroughs got some facts wrong and modified others in order to protect the real Lord Greystoke from discovery.

Fascinating exploration of Burroughs Tarzan books through an anthropological and psychological lens. How would a near-feral man fare in the modern/civilized world?

People who enjoy digging into the background and psyches of literary heroes will find this book worthwhile.
