• The Big Bounce by Walter S. Tevis

  Seeing it in action, anybody would quaver in alarm: What hath Farnsworth overwrought? The Big Bounce by Walter S. Tevis. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today’s tale comes from an author whose name may not be as instantly recognizable as some, but whose work has left a lasting impact on both science fiction and American literature.Born in San Francisco in 1928, Walter Tevis spent much of his childhood in poor health, even spending a year in a convalescent home while his family moved to Kentucky without him. He was 11 when he took a train across the country by himself to reunite with his family. That early experience of isolation would later echo through many of his stories.While best known for his six novels — including the science fiction classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hustler, and The Color of Money, all of which became major motion pictures and The Queen’s Gambit which was adapted in a Netflix miniseries, he also penned over a dozen short stories.From the pages of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in February 1958, turn to page 37, The Big Bounce by Walter S.
