Daniel Otto Jack Petersen | Ep 29: Lafferty Panel 2a: Two Anti-colonialist Planetary Tales (900 Grandmothers & Ride A Tin Can) @Doctor_Rockter | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Had a truly insightful (and intermittently hilarious) discussion with @vintagesf, @LiminalSpaces03, and @literallybooks about one of Lafferty's most well known and best planetary tales, 'Nine Hundred Grandmothers', as well as the lesser known but equally important 'Ride A Tin Can'. What are your interpretations of these stories? Please comment! :)

Topics include: colonialism, capitalism, matriarchy, hypermasculinity, anthropology, folktales, indigenous peoples, ritual, aliens, golden age s.f., new wave s.f., and more!
