Because he was a no-nonsense fundamentalist Christian by the looks of it. Writing or even reading stories about aliens and amazing worlds beyond our own doesn't gel well with that usually. But he obviously still had some interest in it, because the show he watched (season 2 of Fargo) was also about aliens.

The dude won a Hugo award, there's no way his being a science fiction author was a secret.

He used a pseudonym.

The award was in his house... she literally picked it up

My point is, we don't know yet what specifically about those books surprised her, but it doesn't make sense for it to be "my stepfather wrote science fiction books".

You guys are seriously stretching. He's her stepfather, he has an award prominently displayed in his house. Everything about that suggests that his writing career is not a secret.

The song "Кукушечка" (Cuckoo) is in Russian, and he definitely says 'сядьте' (sit down) to the guy. Everything else is obviously in German.

He says "setzen" (german for sit)

Also, was the point of the intro that none of the short stories were true, even though he declared them as such, and some people would still believe them exactly because of their absurdity or unlikelihood presented as a fact/ anecdote?

This is a ______ story.

Did they reveal that Ray had traded the stamps for that lovely car before last episode?

A depressing reveal.

It was in the first episode.

The key difference I think is that in the first episode, Emmit denied that he had manipulated Ray into the trade, and now he finally admitted it.
