Worthington, Will Freas, Kelly 1922 2005 Freas, Frank Kelly Two Whole Glorious Weeks Produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, October 1958 Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Two Whole Glorious Weeks" by Will Worthington is a satirical science fiction story published in the late 1950s. The narrative centers around a couple, Bertha and the protagonist, as they experience a summer camp run as a sinister and harsh regime. The book provides a humorous yet critical look at the notion of leisure and escapism in a future where such experiences take a twisted turn towards labor and discomfort. The story follows Bertha and her husband as they arrive at "Morton's Misery Farm" for what they expect to be a relaxing retreat but soon realize is a grim environment marked by oppressive labor and bizarre rules. After signing releases that trap them into this harrowing experience, they endure menial tasks like transporting manure and breaking rocks under the strict scrutiny of guards. As they navigate their harsh reality, they have limited contact with each other, yet they manage to find humor amidst despair. The harsh conditions of the camp paradoxically awaken a deeper understanding of life and contrast to their luxurious existence back home, leading to a reflection on the nature of pleasure and fulfillment. Ultimately, the absurdity of their situation serves as a commentary on societal values surrounding leisure and satisfaction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
