Bruce McAllister We Tell Ourselves
Bruce McAllister’s short fiction and poetry have appeared over the decades in the SFF magazines, literary magazines, “year’s best” volumes, and college textbooks. His Hugo-nominee short story “Kin" was selected to launch LeVar Burton’s new podcast, LEVAR BURTON READS, and the story of the symbolism questionnaire he sent to 150 famous writers when he was sixteen (and just starting to write SF) goes viral occasionally. He grew up with his younger brother in a Navy family, lived on a lot of seas, and now resides (a little restlessly) in southern California.
