Dear Nan Glanders

"Dear Nan Glanders" by Beta McGavin is a funny book of advice columns set in the early 1960s that looks at life in space. It's all about the funny problems that people and aliens have when they live together in the future. You'll read letters from people asking for advice about crazy situations, like a mom whose son wants to marry a Centurian, or someone worried about having dinner with a Sirian ambassador and his family. Nan Glanders, the advice columnist, gives funny and sarcastic answers which help make fun of how weird humans and aliens can be. McGavin shows how silly it can be when people from different cultures try to talk to each other in a world where normal things mix with strange things.
