9 - The Stars my Destination by Alfred Bester - Grounding the Future in the Past.  This golden age sci-fi novel has a lot to teach - oddly enough - about realism. Bester extracts qualities from historical eras to ground his world in a sense of truth, and in this episode I explore how he does this and how you can do the same.  Twitter: @JedHerne Email: [email protected] Show notes (links to books & articles I mentioned, etc.): novelanalyst.com Join my VIP email list: novelanalyst.com/email--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/novelanalyst/message Hosted on Acast.
