033- Volpla's, by Wyman Guin, 1952
Wherein a mad scientist tries to pull a prank.
Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in [REDACTED], Bhutan, a lovely place they can say nothing about; and discussing the madcap 1952 short story, "Volpla's", by Wyman Guin.
This story is a bizarre mix of the tangible with the vague, featuring a cast of characters who remain mostly nameless, and a cast of mutants who seek a happy ending for their story in a way that can only be happy in the optimism of the early 1950's.
This is Everett Book Club's first meeting with the works of Wyman Guin, and we hope to meet his stories again someday.
