  • 567. The One That Got Away by Chad Oliver

    31:10||Ep. 567
    A stubborn mountain resort owner discovers that certain tourists will go to impossible lengths to protect their favorite fishing spot. Charlie Buckner suddenly finds himself bargaining with visitors who can erase memories, burn buildings, and still care more about trout than secrecy. The One That Got Away by Chad Oliver. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Chad Oliver was both an anthropologist and a writer. Like many authors of his era, he wrote both science fiction and western fiction. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1928, Oliver wrote six science fiction novels, more than sixty science fiction short stories, and three western novels.It’s not unusual to discover an author who had a handful of letters published in science fiction magazines during the 1940s and 1950s. What is unusual is finding one who wrote nearly one hundred of them!Although he was born in Ohio, Oliver spent most of his life in Austin, Texas. He served twice as chairman of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Texas, balancing an academic career with a remarkably successful writing career.Today’s story first appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in May 1959, beginning on page 41. As you listen, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that Oliver was an avid fly fisherman. The One That Got Away by Chad Oliver.Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, William spends years preparing himself for a moment he believes will change the city forever, while millions of exhausted strangers stumble through another suffocating summer. When the crowds suddenly fall silent and turn toward him with perfect devotion, he climbs above the city convinced he finally understands why he was chosen.
