Mammoth Book of Tales from the Road, Maxim Jakubowski (Editor), M. Christian (Editor), Carroll & Graf

Two things inspired me to write this: Ian McDonald’s Klingklangklatch, a graphic novel that is a tribute to Tom Waits, and Tom Waits’ Asylum Years LP. It has all my favorite stuff: alien visitors and popculture trash.

Salon

Swedish translation (Johan Anglemark/Enhörningen Magazine)

Slovak translation (Pavol Hvizdos)

I wrote this while at a summer writer’s workshop in July, 2002, at an arts-center on Toronto Island. Like most of my fiction, this reflects a lot of what’s going on in my life at the moment.

This is the first SF story Salon ever published, and it made quite a splash — and was nominated for a Nebula Award in 2003.
