1. I have work again. Yay!

2. Clarkesworld: Year Three is now available (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.). "White Charles" is in it if you're trying to find print versions of the uncollected Booth stories, and in general Clarkesworld is made of awesome.

3. This month's Apex Magazine is Shakespeare-centric; I contributed an essay about Hamlet and the Reformation, "Welcome to the Reformation, Bitches," which explains why pepole saying Hamlet's fatal flaw is indecision gives me a homicidal nervous tic.

"Welcome to the Reformation, Bitches," is an excellent example of the kind of cross-disciplinary work I wish happened more often. People too often think they can study their chosen subject in a vacuum. But there's no field of study that doesn't get a big infusion of win by also studying history/sociology/biology/language/mathematics/theology/philosophy/et cetera, and the history of the study of those things. In other words, I liked that essay. *g*

Wow, awesome essay!

(How did I never realize that the setting is contemporary? I assumed it took place in pre-reformation Denmark, and that if Hamlet had any doubts about Purgatory, he'd picked them up in Wittenburg.)

Not sure whether the blanket "revenge is wrong" at the end works, though. Did people really believe that in all cases, now or then? Especially when it's the king who's done it, so it would be extremely difficult to achieve justice any other way?
