8729. Classics of SF Discussion: Eric Frank Russell, "Wasp" (1957)
Moderator: John Hertz

Moderator John Hertz will lead discussions of three Classics of Science Fiction panels at Loscon 50, one discussion each. Come to as many as you like. You'll be welcome to join in.

Our operating definition is "A classic is a work that survives its own time. After the currents which might have sustained it have changed, it remains, and is seen to be worthwhile for itself." If you have a better definition, bring it.

Each of the three is famous in a different way. Each may be more interesting now than when first published. Have you read them? Have you re-read them?

Again this author's wit is with us (he won a Hugo for his story about an offog). James Mowry, wondering why he's wanted, is told of an automobile crash in which four men died, their car wrecked, when a wasp flying through an open window distracted the driver; Mowry is being recruited as a wasp.
