The Avram Davidson Universe - Season 3, Episode 6 & Henry Sussman "The Slovo Stove"

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we sit down with Henry Sussman. Henry Sussman was born in Philadelphia in 1947. His childhood of classical science geekdom turned to a lifelong literary obsession in junior high. Among his early literary influences: U.S. drama of the 1930’s-1950’s, Poe, Mad Magazine, and post-War sci-fi. He received his PhD in Comparative Literature in 1975 from Johns Hopkins and spent time studying and teaching in France, Germany, SUNY-Buffalo and eventually Yale, where he developed the course German Fairy Tales out of his interests in critical theory, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and cybernetics which our host Emma Speer took while attending Yale. Like Avram, he is one-of-a-kind, and the perfect person to have on to discuss this episode’s story, "The Slovo Stove" which was originally published in August 1985 in Universe 15 which was edited by Terry Carr Below is a link to one of Henry's books:https://books.google.com/books/about/Around_the_Book.html?id=Sb63nQAACAAJ&source=kp_author_description
