I recommend "Only Partly Here" by Lucius Shepard, originally published in
Asimov's SF in 2003. It's reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror:
Seventeeth Annual Collection (edited by Ellen Datlow and Kelly Link & Gavin
Grant, published by St Martin's Press in 2004). It's also in Shepard's
collection Trujillo, published in a limited edition hardback by PS
Publishing in the UK last year.

I'll also mention one that's been recommended to me but which I haven't
read - "In Spirit", a novella by Pat Forde published in the September 2002
issue of Analog.

Re: JCO: 9/11 fiction

Hello

I don't know if any of you are already aware of this or if Oates herself is,
but responses to 9/11 by several very interesting directors were gathered in
a work titled "11'09''01 - September 11." It entailed eleven short films
from eleven different directors from eleven different countries. Sean Penn
directed one segment. I thought about half of them were very well done. But
I don't want to go on about it as it will get off topic.

I'd be interested in discussing The Mutants, but won't have time until
tomorrow. All the stories in the collection I Am No One You Know are superb
and worth having for anyone debating whether to buy it.

Re: JCO: 9/11 fiction

Hi, Kimberly. "The Mutants" is the last story collected in the book I AM NO
ONE YOU KNOW. The Updike story may be in his book LICKS OF LOVE, but that's
not at hand right now. I will message you separately about Lost Highways,
which I saw for the first time last week.
Best,
Cyrano

<< Hi Cyrano,

I remember that Updike story -- from the New Yorker, I think? It was the
first and one of the only pieces of fiction I had read that dealt with the 911
tragedy. I haven't read "the mutants" but will seek it out.

And I couldn't agree more that David Lynch is the man for the job. I've
adored Lynch ever since the first I saw "lost highway." In fact when I read your
question re who would be the most able filmmaker it was Lynch who sprang to
mind even before you suggested him.

Best,
