...And Call Me Conrad/This Immortal9 jul1 u 17 min

Join us as we discuss one of the Hugo Award winners for 1966 (there was a tie!): Roger Zelazny's ...And Call Me Conrad, which was retitled This Immortal when it was published as a fix-up novel.

Host: Christine D. Baker, a historian who lives in Vancouver, BC. You can find her at @klaxoncomms.com‬ on Bluesky or follow what she's reading at her website: https://klaxoncomms.com/reading/

This month's guest is Evan May, a Canadian fantasy author and historian. He is the author of Easter Pinkerton and the Case of the Heretic Blood. You can find him on Bluesky at @gianttourtiere.bsky.social.

From about 3:40 to about 18:50, Christine is recapping the book, which has A LOT of spoilers. The rest of the episode isn't spoiler free, but that section goes through the plot in detail.
