The story was written from an idea by Damon Knight - about weightlessness in
space and the effect that might have on perceptions of attractiveness.

Underwood-Miller, 1990 (in Chateau d'If) Nota: "[WORLDS BEYOND] Editor Damon Knight gave Vance the idea of an orbiting
satellite as a weightless paradise for grossly obese people and commissioned a
story for his magazine. Vance thought the idea 'inspired' and wrote 'Abercrombie
Station.' Then WORLDS BEYOND folded before he could submit the story to Knight,
so he sold it to THRILLING WONDER STORIES (February 1952). After the story
appeared in print, Knight complimented Vance on the concept and said, wistfully,
that the same idea had occurred to him but he never got around to writing the
story. Vance reminded Knight that he had suggested the original idea and gave
Knight due credit when the story was reprinted in The Best of Jack Vance (Pocket
Books 1976).
'Abercrombie Station' introduced another of Vance’s spirited
young female protagonists, Jean Parlier, who appeared again in 'Cholwell’s
Chickens'” (THRILLING WONDER STORIES August 1952). The two novelettes eventually
appeared together in 1965 as Monsters in Orbit, half of an Ace Double."
Editorial Blurb (THRILLING WONDER STORIES August 1952)
There have always been colonies - colonies
of nudists, artists, vegetarians, non-conformists and plain old rugged
individualists. Here at Abercombie Station, for the first time, we have a colony
for fat people. Nor is their chosen isolation intended merely to avoid ridicule.
It has a practical advantage. Far from Earth's burdensome gravity, freed of the
chains of their weight, the fat people can skip as lithesome as lambs on the
green, while their avoirdupois, instead of sagging grotesquely, balloons in
rich, rosy, enticing curves.
Everybody has a different idea of paradise, but
if you happen to be dieting - or should be - you'll have fun with Jack Vance's
idea of a heavyweight heaven. |
