Episode #160 SF Hall of Fame #9 The Huddling Place by Clifford D. Simak

In 1970, Avon Books published a landmark anthology, “Science
Fiction Hall of Fame,” featuring 16 classic short stories that
represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on
by the members of the new (at the time, in the late 1960s)
organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series,
I will be joined by a panel of guests to break down these stories
and talk about the authors in the book.





In this episode, I am joined by two experts on the history of
science fiction. Joachim Boaz is a Historian and Teacher who has
been writing about vintage Science Fiction since 2010 and can be
found at sciencefictionruminations.com. Greg Mollin is a writer
and Bookseller and the longtime owner of the amazing Artifact
Books in Encinitas California. Artifactrarebooks.com





We are talking about The Huddling Place by Clifford Simak, The
story that eventually became a chapter of one of my all-time
favorite novels CITY. We talk about Simak in general, the history
of the story, and the novel.
