| Summary | "Star-Crossed Lover" by William W. Stuart is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The book presents a unique blend of humor and speculative elements, focusing on the unexpected and complex relationship between a human man and an alien life form. It tackles themes of love, identity, and transformation, as it follows the protagonist's surreal experiences after bizarre encounters with a strange old woman who turns out to be from another world. The story begins with a man who, after helping an elderly woman across the street, finds himself entangled in a set of extraordinary events. This old woman, who is later revealed to be an alien life form, transports him to a new reality where she takes on the guise of various bodies, all meanwhile analyzing human interaction and relationships. As they explore this cosmic connection, their bond deepens, leading to unexpected complications, including marriage and parenthood, through a unique alien reproductive process. Ultimately, the narrative balances humorous absurdities with profound reflections on love and existence, leaving the protagonist pondering his future in the wake of his alien wife's transformations and eventual departure.
