영어로 읽는 공상과학 소설 _ 에블린 E. 스미스의 나의 멋진 행성
Evelyn E. Smith의 "My Fair Planet"은 1958년에 발표된 SF 소설이다. 이 작품은 Galaxy Science Fiction 잡지에 연재되었으며, Smith의 독특한 유머와 사회 비평적 관점이 잘 드러나는 작품으로 알려져 있다. "My Fair Planet"은 외계 행성과 그 문명을 '교화'하려는 시도를 다루고 있으며, 이를 통해 문화 제국주의와 인류 중심적 사고에 대한 비판을 담고 있을 가능성이 높다. Smith는 이 작품에서 SF 장르의 관습을 활용하면서도 동시에 그것을 비틀어 사회적 메시지를 전달하는 것으로 보인다.

Reading Science Fiction in English _ My Fair Planet by Evelyn E. Smith
Evelyn E. Smith's "My Fair Planet" is a science fiction novel published in 1958. It was serialized in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine and is known for Smith's unique humor and social critical perspective. "My Fair Planet" deals with an alien planet and an attempt to "civilize" its civilization, and through this, it is likely to contain criticisms of cultural imperialism and anthropocentric thinking. In this work, Smith seems to utilize the conventions of the science fiction genre while simultaneously twisting them to deliver a social message.

Summary
All the world's a stage, so there was room even for this bad actor ... only he intended to direct it!

As Paul Lambrequin was clambering up the stairs of his rooming house, he met a man whose face was all wrong. "Good evening," Paul said politely and was about to continue on his way when the man stopped him.
"You are the first person I have encountered in this place who has not shuttered at the sight of me," he said in a toneless voice with an accent that was outside the standard repertoire.
