This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I'm not just about movies. It's true, I do love watching musty Japanese art films, but occasionally I do other stuff, too. Like write fiction. As proof I offer you this: "There Is Joy Before the Angels of God," a short story I wrote that has just been published in the Winter 2010 issue of The Literary Review. It's available NOW at your finer bookstores!
I couldn't be more thrilled. And I'm especially charged that TLR pulled a nice and gruesome quote from the story for the back cover. The front cover, by photojournalist Stephen Ferry, is pretty slammin', too, as you can see. And if that's not enough, the theme of the issue is Machismo: A Field Guide. Need I say more?
The story may be on The Literary Review website at some point, but why not show your support for a fine journal and your local (perhaps independent) bookseller and buy a real copy.
The story is part of a collection of connected stories I've been working on forever. If you read it, let me know what you think.
