このコンテンツについて
A collection of 13 stunning stories by one of the most celebrated American writers of the 20th century
A follow-up to his 1970 science fiction collection, The General Zapped an Angel, Fast’s book of 13 new science fiction stories is brisk and engrossing. In "The Hoop", a scientist builds a portal to an unknown destination, which the mayor of New York City hijacks to use as a garbage dump until the location’s surprising, and hilarious, revelation. And in "The Egg", set 3,000 years in the future, a research team discovers an egg, something they have never seen before, cryogenically frozen in a nuclear bunker. These 13 stories are bizarre, hilarious, poignant, and sure to entertain.

A striking marriage of performance and storytelling, these satirical sci-fi vignettes from Howard Fast are provided insightful character acting by versatile baritone Jonathan Yen. Fast covers an extensive swath of storytelling terrain, his subjects ranging from domestic squabbles to inter-dimensional space-time travel. Throughout, Fast demonstrates a unique talent for rendering world-changing, apocalyptic events with humorous understatement and intimacy. Exemplifying this knack for profound irony is "Not With a Bang", wherein an elderly husband witnesses the evening sun literally plucked from the heavens by an ethereal thumb and forefinger. His wife seems indifferent, and the couple goes about their routine, preparing for dinner and bridge even as the temperature plunges below freezing. Yen’s distinct and perceptive role-playing lends personality, authenticity, and compassion to these kitchen-sink catastrophes.
