Great encouragement to discover the late #TheodoreSturgeon, by @telltalebooks.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nn4...
Likely my fave writer. Sturgeon's career, arguably peaking in the 1950s, bridged US sci-fi's rationalist Golden Age to counterculture New Wave. Also added Romanticism to sci-fi

今月の英語短篇読書会は
The Man Who Lost the Sea-TheodoreSturgeon
解説を聞いてようやく理解できる小説でした。翻訳者の若島先生から直々に話の肝や読み所を聞けて充実した時間でした。
スタージョン、ブラッドベリと同時代の作家で今でも読める作家と言うことに笑。
代表作に『人間以上』
More Than Human があると聞いて、太宰の『人間失格』の英語タイトルを思い出す。
No Longer Human
頭の片隅に置いておこう
