Description

A Fantasy of perfection and imperfection. A tale of a quaint city in the jungle and the curious fate that overtook a very clever thief who came there. The Unfinished City by Donald A. Wollheim, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, just so you know, your 5 star reviews never get old! This from Slacker Jake, “Hooked. Hooked on the first episode the narration is great I can’t wait to listen to them all.” Thanks Slacker Jake. Just so you know, we are working hard to make sure you never get caught up!!And a shout out to YouTube listener scotleoqueen704 who had this to say, “Wonderful. My #1 fave sci-fi, DUNE and I'd give my right arm to have that 1st printing in the magazine. You're my #1 fave narrator of sci-fi.” Thanks scotleoqueen704! I don’t think you are alone in wishing you had the first appearance of Dune in the December 1963 issue of Analog science fiction magazine. Although it’s been said that Frank Herbert rewrote most of what originally appeared in Analog before releasing Dune in 1965. And thanks for your compliment saying that we were your #1 favorite narrator of sci-fi. That is quite a compliment. Thank you.Donald A. Wollheim makes his 4th appearance on the podcast with an interesting short sci-fi story about a most unusual little city. Stirring Science Stories first appeared in February 1941, four issues later the 15 cent magazine was gone for good. Until now, we had never featured a story from the magazine.Wollheim had an advantage over every other author who appeared in this, here today, gone tomorrow magazine, he was also the editor! Today’s story can be found in the last issue, and it is the last story ever to appear in the magazine. From March 1942, on page 60, The Unfinished City by Donald A. Wollheim…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Mad with despair, they fought back from the ruins. Whoever these invaders were, they should not have a world which its defenders themselves had destroyed!
