Talk:Transience (short story)

Notability and sources
Sources that I cannot access but that seem to contain some coverage of this, and could help to establish notabilty.
 * "In “Transience” (1949), for example, a story of his which is really more meditation than story, Earth is presented as it is in The Time Machine's far - distant future: as a deserted beach"
 * "Clarke treats it poetically in “ ' Transience ” ( 1949 ), a series of vignettes about man and the sea — the sea as seen"
 * "evolution which will eventually replace humanity as the dominant race on Earth, as we see in ' Transience ' ( 1949 ) "
 * the work is mentioned in an academic article here: "Clarke's elegiac early stories “Nightfall” (1941), “History Lesson” (1949), and “Transience” (1949), all concern the end of the Earth. " --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:12, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I couldn't get much more of a look at most of them either, but I did manage to get into the last. The main mention of the story is the sentence:
 *  In “Transience,” the end of the world comes as a shadow from outer space, “something black and monstrous [that] eclipse[s] the stars”
 * I think I could use in the themes section, as I did with the others for the most part, but not much more than that. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:04, 23 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I think that this has OK notability, but not stellar. (No pun intended.) I mildly wish that we could have pages similar to a list of characters when it comes to short stories since most will have mild coverage like this, however such a page could become easily unwieldy when it comes to sections and subsections, as I can see people trying to make each section its own full article. Still, something to debate for the future. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:07, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
