"My Fair Planet" by Evelyn E. Smith is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story explores the unusual relationship between a struggling actor, Paul Lambrequin, and an extraterrestrial being named Ivo Darcy from the fifth planet orbiting the Sirius star. It examines themes of identity, the nature of performance, and the concept of human adaptation through the lens of theatricality and alien perspective. In the plot, Paul encounters Ivo, who has the ability to change his appearance and is on Earth to scout for potential relocation options for his rapidly growing population on Sirius. Initially, Paul agrees to teach Ivo how to act like a human, inadvertently becoming a mentor to this alien eager to understand Earth’s dramatic arts. As their relationship develops, Ivo’s immersion in human culture leads to unforeseen consequences, culminating in a power struggle for identity. Paul, who has long sought recognition and success in his acting career, must confront the reality of his situation when Ivo reveals a plan to replace him entirely. This sci-fi narrative cleverly intertwines humor and thought-provoking commentary on the arts, ambition, and the human experience through the lens of an interstellar plot.
