There Was a Crooked Man, He Flipped a Crooked House

David Erik Nelson

C.C. Finlay

@HeinleinSociety @Technovelgy There was a nice variation on this called "There Was a Crooked Man, He Flipped a Crooked House" by David Erik Nelson (@SquiDaveo) in @fandsf back in 2017. Part of the fun of science fiction is seeing how different writers are influenced by and develop similar ideas over time.

When Franny Stands Up

Eden Robins

C.C. Finlay

At @worldfantasy_22 I bought WHEN FRANNY STANDS UP by @edenrobins. It's Chicago after WWII, and Franny Steinberg discovers that magic is real but the only way to do magic is through comedy. A brilliant book on so many levels. Smart, funny, painful, compelling. Highly recommended.
