Fire

The August issue of Clarkesworld went live today, with fiction by Ian MacLeod, Naomi Novik, James Patrick Kelly, Kat Howard, Caroline M. Yoachim, and some nobody who calls himself Joseph Tomaras. Like Odysseus in the Cyclops' cave, I am Nobody.

If you, like me, believe that science fiction has had too few proletarian uprisings and too little ass-play since Nick Mamatas announced his retirement from the genre, then you might appreciate Bonfires in Anacostia. If you don't appreciate it, and you don't think that Twitter provides you with enough characters to tell me all the ways in which I am horrible, please feel free to comment here at length.
