Delighted to share that “First-Person Shooter, or Jeux Sans Frontières”—a fiction of mine with an implicit critique of a certain kind of gamer and gaming, not to mention the oppressive systems that enable them—was published in The Dialogue Within, the 40th anniversary issue of Eckhard Gerdes-edited The Journal of Experimental Fiction! Ka-pow!
The issue features work by Eric Altemus, Tanvi Bhandurge, Steve Biersdorf, Eddy Burger, Anca Cristofovici, S. C. Delaney, Sophie Drukman-Feldstein, JF, Christine Faught, Ramiz Garalov, Seth Geltman, James Gierman, Selah Grenewood, Daniel Y. Harris, David Jelinek, Stanley Kelman Jr., John Kinsella, Amy Kurmań, Jesse Levy, Charles Lowe, John Madera, Constantinos N. Makris, Robert John Miller, David Moscovich, Chris Okum, Daniel O’Reilly, William Owen, Vahid Paeez, Fereshteh Parizi, Steve Pastis, Peyton S. Perry, Agnès Potier, Doug Rice, Doren Robbins, Mario Senzale, and Michel Vachey!
In other words, I’ll be in great company, to say the least. Thanks, again, to publishing editor Eckhard Gerdes!
