My story “Across the Digital Curtain” is live in the current issue of The Continental Literary Magazine.
This is a glossy high-end literary print magazine which has published the likes of Noam Chomsky, Roxane Gay, and Marianne Williamson but also does not shy away from science fiction. Recent issues include stories by Kelly Link and Ken Liu. Honored to join their company.
My story is in the themed Borders issue and imagines a new Cold War between Russia and the West where the two sides have severed virtually all connections and have their local versions of the internet, etc. (we are already seeing some of that happening now across the globe). This is mixed with a spy story and nods to Plovdiv, Bulgaria, where I visited last year.
