Eighty Minute Hour
Brian Aldiss
A Space Opera. An ambitious, incredible - Space Opera!A science-fiction story which occasionally breaks off into song - a genuine space opera.Quite possibly Aldiss’s strangest novel, and that is saying something.

Introduction (#u3c328d58-fbdc-5028-a5e4-2912748e8ae5)
The opening paragraph of this space opera has frequently been quoted, if only by me:
Four things one particularly notices after wars of any respectable size: preparations for the next one, confidence that armed conflict is finished for ever, starvation, and feasting.
The text is operatic; I was attempting to write a space opera.
My original American publisher, Doubleday, explained everything clearly on their dust jacket, and I loved them for it: ‘Seldom has a novel been more crammed with crazy but plausible ideas, awful jokes, and nutty people. Oh, we forgot to mention the latest technological advance, the ecopicosystem. And total contraception. And all the singing and dancing. And the massive drinking scene. And the updated Adam and Eve bit … The Eighty Minute Hour is delightful entertainment – with a pinch of chilli and Attic salt added.’
I wrote the novel paragraph by paragraph while travelling with my friend Harry Harrison round the USA, pausing only to dine with Ray Bradbury, one evening by the coast.
