Expanded as the novel The Lovers.
Winner of the Hugo Award for Most Promising New Author (1953).

DESCRIPTION:

Farmer's first science fiction story! On the planet Ozagen the linguist Hal Yarrow falls in love –which is strictly forbidden– with the the local Jeanette. To make things worse, Jeanette is not even human...
Samuel Mines wrote this in Startling Stories:
"THE LOVERS is a story we would like to introduce with trumpets and fanfare—maybe even a parade. We feel that way about it. We are restrained with difficulty from raving only because we know our dignity would suffer.
We think this story is a delicate and beautiful, yet powerful and shocking piece of work. We are amazed that so strong and sure a drama could come from a new young writer. We believe we are here launching the career of a man who will shortly be ranked with the few at the very top. We think Philip José Farmer is the find of the year. After you've read it, the verdict will be with you."
