Episode #156 SF Hall of Fame #8 Mimsy Were the Borogoves by Lewis Padgett w/ Cora Buhlert & Brian Collins

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 60s)
organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series,

science fiction. Cora Buhlert is a writer, teacher, and
translator from Germany. Three-time Hugo finalist and 2022 Hugo
winner for Best Fan Writer. Brian Collins is the host of the
excellent Science Fiction & Fantasy Remembrance blog, Young
People Read Old SFF and both write for Galactic Journey.

issue of Astounding…
