Entry for February 4, 2009: What You Should Be Reading Now

   I think you all should go right now and order the latest issue (#4) of Avery: An Anthology of New Fiction.  It features a baker's dozen of new short stories about (to quote from the Editors' blurb) "sex, airplanes, cacti, foreign lands, sisters, fish, revolution, and term papers." 


   The fish story is mine:  "Invasive Species."  Taking up an incident involving the Japanese royal family that fascinated me last year, and which I wrote about here in this blog, I started wondering what it would mean for the Emperor to take historical responsibility, one fish at a time.  The story is the result, and I hope that you enjoy it.  See if you can spot the arcane allusion to Nakano Shigeharu buried deep within.
