P.J. Farmer has said that a writer who can create the most widely recognized character in the history of literature (Tarzan) should not be lightly dismissed. :')

I don't know exactly why, but it seems to me that Burroghs is often overlooked in any discussion of sci fi writers. Strangely enough, I've never had much interest in Tarzan. I always prefered Carter and Carson.
