040- The Bright Illusion, by C.L. Moore, 1934

Wherein a man falls in love with an alien babe?

This week on the podcast, Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in the middle of British Columbia, Canada, discussing "The Bright Illusion" by C.L. Moore, from 1934. This one is something special, because C.L. Moore is an amazing author who's very ahead of her time. Honestly, this one surprised us both with its themes and surprise plot-points.

For a picture of the cover, please consult episode 36, "The New Accelerator". I was going to re-upload it, but decided to turn it into the world’s worst scavenger hunt.

C.L. Moore was famously married author Henry Kuttner, who you can hear about in Episode 003, "Time Locker"- and next season, we're going to do a story that they wrote together! <3
