It's a terrific story, well worth reading and re-reading.
Very pleased that my short story, "Mont Blanc" (riffing off the 1962 Truffaut film, 'Jules et Jim') has been published by @saltpublishing.com today as part of their online House Magazine. This is one for those who enjoyed my "Candescent Blooms" collection, as it plays with similar themes.

Just handed in the edits on my 'spiritual dystopian fantasy SF' novel, "Body and Soul", which @elsewhen.press will be publishing later this year. I wrote this awhile back and hadn't re-read it for some time, but I've got to confess that I thoroughly enjoyed the edit and I hope you'll enjoy it too!
