A Bite of Stars, A Slug of Time, and Thou – Episode 13
Rebecca Levene sits in with Mark Sinker and Elisha Sessions to talk about Brian Aldiss’ 1957 short story, “All the World’s Tears”. It’s about a vitiated ecology, a mechanized society, and a desolate, wind-swept mansion where love may not be all you need. Music is “In the Pines” by Bill Monroe and His Bluegrass Boys, and “Ask” by the Smiths. Elisha reads the story for you first.
Produced by Elisha Sessions
This has long been one of my favourite SF stories, a real touch of Aldiss genius.
