Just out from the University of Georgia Press, Spinning Away from the Center, edited by Ethan Laughman, includes the title short story from my collection, Sky Over El Nido.
I wrote “Sky Over El Nido” about 500 years ago (um, that would be sometime in the early ’90s). What’s interesting to me about it now is that it has what I thought of then as a net-like narrative structure, but that I now think of as Sandboxing with Fractals. At the time I was reading a lot of Douglas Glover, Kate Braverman, Jorge Luis Borges, Marguerite Feitlowitz, and Flannery O’Connor. It was a wicked lark to write.
You can read more about Sky Over El Nido over on my webpage, www.cmmayo.com. (…In 2020 I aim to get that verily ancient website into WordPress…)
P.S. Delighted to report that I am nearly ready to record the long-delayed Marfa Mondays podcast #21 about the Seminole Scouts. Stay tuned.
