Calypso's Guest
批評家のレビュー
“Narrator Robert Petkoff combines a natural ease and a classical timbre to deliver this spare, poetic novella. .. Petkoff is at his best giving voice to the men's growing friendship even as the stranded survivor desperately dreams of returning home. At a compact 53 minutes, this "space fable," which combines science fiction and Homeric traditions, is a refreshing change from the more common thousand-page sci-fi series. We hope to hear many more.”—AudioFile Magazine
あらすじ・解説
A bargain with the gods throws two men together in a timeless short story of adventure and unrequited love inspired by The Odyssey by Andrew Sean Greer, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less.
A man in exile, banished to a planet far from home and cursed with immortality, discovers that a ship has crash-landed near his settlement. After two hundred years, his heart’s desire has come true. A visitor has finally arrived on his lonely little speck in the stars. He’ll have companionship again. Someone he could love forever. As the weary traveler heals, the two men form a tender bond. But all they’ve come to share may not be enough to curb the visitor’s irrepressible wanderlust. Now the exile, who thought nothing in his endless life would ever change, must make a decision that will change everything.
