Clifford D. Simak

    3 augustus 1904 – 25 april 1988

    Deze auteur verkent diepgaande vragen over het menselijk bestaan en onze plaats in de kosmos via meeslepende verhalen. Zijn werken duiken vaak in tijdloze thema's zoals eenzaamheid, hoop en de complexiteit van relaties, gesitueerd tegen futuristische of fantastische achtergronden. Met een gave voor lyrische proza en ontroerende personages biedt zijn schrijven een uniek perspectief op wat het betekent om mens te zijn. Zijn oeuvre zet aan tot nadenken en resoneert met lezers die op zoek zijn naar betekenisvolle verhalen.

    • 2015

      People work. Folk play. That is the way it has been in this country as long as Sam can remember. He is happy, and he understands that this is the way it should be. People are bigger than folk. They are stronger. They do not need food or water. They do not need the warmth of a fire. All they need is a job to do and a blacksmith to fix them when they break. The people work so the folk can drink their moonshine, fish a little, throw a horseshoe. But when Sam starts to wonder about why the world is this way, his life will never be the same. Along with the other stories in this collection, ?I Am Crying All Inside? is a compact marvel: a picture of an impossible reality that is not so different from our own
