El presente relato corto ganó el premio Nébula del año 2014 . En realidad, no estamos ante un cuento estrictamente de ciencia ficción, ni siquiera es fantástico… o tal vez sí, pero al margen de su adscripción genérica se trata de una bellísima historia de amor ❤️ —casi un poema— que merecía ser publicada en español y narrada por una servidora. Apareció en marzo de 2013 en la cada vez más interesante revista Apex y suscitó decenas de elogios aunque también fue una de las historias que centraron los ataques del ala más reaccionaria de la ciencia ficción norteamericana, aquella liderada por los denominados Sad Puppies y Rabid Puppies, cuyas campañas han llegado incluso a amenazar el prestigio de los premios Hugo. Por cierto, el marido de Rachel es un gran aficionado a los dinosaurios. 🦖🦖 RACHEL SWIRSKY (California, 1982) es una escritora de fantasía y ficción especulativa, aunque también es poeta, ensayista, editora e, incluso, fue vicepresidenta de la Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Ha sido nominada a los premios Hugo, Sturgeon y Locus, y en 2010 obtuvo el Nébula de mejor novela corta con «The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers Beneath the Queen’s Window» . Sus historias han aparecido en numerosas publicaciones: Tor.com, Subterranean Magazine, Clarkesworld, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Fantasy Magazine, Interzone, Realms of Fantasy, Weird Tales, y en recopilaciones tan prestigiosas como The Year’s Best Science Fiction de Gardner Dozois, The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy de Rich Horton, Year’s Best Science Fiction y Fantasy of the Year de Jonathan Strahan, o Best American Fantasy de Jeff y Ann VanderMeer. 📌 ¡¡Síguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/historiasparaserleidas (estamos preparando un sorteo)🎁 🛑BIO Olga Paraíso: https://instabio.cc/Hleidas 📌Súbete a nuestra nave y disfruta de contenido exclusivo solo para ti, pulsa el botón azul APOYAR y serás un tabernero galáctico desde 1,49€ al mes.

For the handful of listeners who might be nostalgic for those earlier Coode Streets which were mostly just disorganized rambles, this week we return to form—or lack of form, as the case may be. We do mention Rich Horton's recent re-reads of pre-Hugo SF classics, and his contention that 1953 was a high point in SF publishing, but then get into questions of why it was just an impressive year (partly due to a backlog of SF writing that hadn't previously been widely available in book form), which in turn leads us to another discussion of the familiar periods of SF history still make much sense given the broadening of the field in the last half-century. Are there other Golden Ages? Are we in one now? How do today's readers decide which earlier SF is worth reading? Is the overall quality of SF stronger today than ever, or are we simply applying different or more stringently literary standards? This leads to a digression about exciting books coming out later this year, and a number of other topics that we challenge you to even try to keep track of. But at least we had fun.  

In this episode we sit down with Nancy Klein and listen to chapter 1 of "Beer! Beer! Beer!" which was written in the 1970's but published in 2021. Nancy & Sidney Klein were close friends of Avram. Nancy Isaacs Klein is a native of Yonkers, NY. She is a graduate of Barnard College and has 4 children, 19 grandchildren and a lot of great-grandchildren. She is an active community volunteer.

Klein and includes some of his own writings about his adventures (mostly humorous) in the Marines, as an engineer, a father, grandfather and Orthodox Jew. Nancy Isaacs Klein is also the author of Heritage of Faith, the biographies of her father, Moses L. Isaacs, and her grandfather, Rabbi Philipp Kle. For more information see www.avramdavidson.com
