I urge you to find a way to get your hands on the current issue of Interzone, which contains the story “Home Again,” by Paul M. Berger. Paul was my Clarion classmate and roomie, and I got to read the first draft of this story at the workshop. I don’t actually know of anyplace in San Antonio that sells Interzone, but I’m going to have to track down a copy, because this story was a creepy little gem even at its earliest, and I must have it in a form that I can thrust in the faces of others.

Wow! I liked the blurb about Berger’s story, or is that the first paragraph? Even better.
I just noticed Oryx and Crake on your booklist. Amazing book that is also on my bookcase.

It’s on my shelf, but I haven’t actually read it yet. It is one of the huge stack of unread books that I’m trying to work my way through. I picked it up remaindered, knowing nothing about it, after I read and loved The Handmaid’s Tale.
