{‘... And a fool as well’}[16th January 1971]


[Redbook1:193][19710116]{‘... And a fool as well’}[16th January 1971]

16.1.71. [continued]

            I must record this passage from Evelyn E. Smith’s short S.F. story, “BAXBR|DAXBR”, as published in BestSF 4.

            The setting is mundane, present-day London.

            “ ‘If you'll excuse me for asking, what language is it in?’
            ‘... You'd call it Martian.’
            ‘Oh,’ George said.  ‘And I suppose your correspondent would be a Martian, too?’
            ‘Yes, and a fool as well.’ ”
