Summary "Helpfully Yours" by Evelyn E. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s. The story follows Tarb Morfatch, a Fizbian woman who arrives on Earth, aiming to assist fellow Fizbians in adjusting to Terran culture. The narrative explores themes of cultural differences, identity, and the misunderstandings that arise in cross-species interactions. The plot centers around Tarb's experiences as the first Fizbian woman to work for the "Fizbus Times" in New York. Initially filled with high hopes, she quickly becomes embroiled in the cultural complexities of Terran society, where she struggles to adapt her Fizbian customs to native norms. Her interactions with her colleagues, particularly Stet Zarnon, the editor, reveal tensions between their respective cultures. As Tarb seeks to understand her environment while advocating for her fellow Fizbians, she faces challenges and conflicts over identity, societal expectations, and the struggle to maintain her heritage. Ultimately, her journey leads to a clash between her aspirations and the realities of life on Earth, culminating in a decision that will alter her path and her understanding of both worlds.
