History

First publication: New Worlds, No. 224, October 2024

The existing chapters of a novel left unfinished when Thomas Disch died.

Review

This is a bizarre story, probably the main reason being that it is unfinished. But I can’t quite figure from this what Disch was doing or where he was going. I didn’t see any “forbidden love.” Confusing.
