(SF; Arkwright) Bored at a science fiction convention, famous author Nathan Arkwright lets a couple of fans take him out to dinner. They seemed normal enough—at least to start with. (6,704 words; Time: 22m)
Rating: ★★★☆☆ Average
Probably not worth reading if you didn’t read the other Arkwright stories.
"An Incident In the Literary Life of Nathan Arkwright," by Allen M. Steele [bio] (edited by Sheila Williams), appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction issue 09-10|17, published on August 17, 2017 by Penny Publications.
Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The essence of the plot is that he gets away from the time travelers and we learn why he quit going to conventions.
Con: This might be of interest to people who read the Arkwright stories, but it has very little substance as a stand-alone story.
