"The Gallery" by Rog Phillips is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The narrative centers around Arthur, a young man who receives a cryptic telegram from his Aunt Matilda, prompting him to visit his small hometown of Sumac. The story explores themes of perception, reality, and the implications of advanced technology through the mysterious developments that unfold after Arthur arrives. The plot begins with Arthur's arrival in Sumac, where he immediately senses something is off. Matilda, usually a steadfast figure in his life, exhibits erratic behavior hinting at troubles connected to a novel photographic technology that can project moving images, which she recently invested in. As Arthur delves deeper, he discovers that his aunt's obsession with this peculiar invention holds more sinister potential. The story escalates as Arthur confronts the surreal and disturbing elements surrounding the invention, leading to a realization of the implications of its power over reality and identity. Ultimately, he finds himself entangled between the ordinary and an extraordinary existence, shifting between various versions of himself as he navigates the consequences of this groundbreaking technology.
