Summary "The Yes Men of Venus" by Ron Goulart is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The book's narrative serves as a continuation of the works of Arthur Wright Beemis, a fictional fantasist created by Goulart. The story follows the adventures of several characters, notably Hyacinth Robinson and Joel Lars, as they navigate various fantastical and perilous encounters on planets like Venus and Mars, addressing themes of adventure, romance, and the absurdity of interplanetary life. In this whimsical tale, we meet Hyacinth Robinson, who, after a tumultuous beginning caused by a falling Zeppelin and an encounter with a giant clam, befriends Lowell Hawthorne, a man who claims to have a connection with someone living inside Venus. The narrative shifts as Hawthorne shares his own experiences of reincarnation and adventure on Mars, where he encounters strange creatures and platforms akin to gladiatorial games. Throughout the book, the protagonists grapple with love and identity amid the chaos, particularly as Joel Lars, another key character, speaks of his beloved Virl Yank, who is held captive by the notorious Yes Men of Venus. As the story unfolds, the characters are drawn into confrontations that challenge their masculinity and heroic ideals, all while delivering a blend of humor and fantastical escapades.
