Portland square dancer David Levine‘s short story “The Tale of the Golden Eagle” has been nominated for a 2004 Hugo award. I’ve read the story; it made me cry.

I’ve mentioned David and his wife, Kate, here before, reference to their fanzine, Bento. I think about them everytime I’m in an airport, searching desperately for an electric outlet. Actually, I should be thinking of Andrei Codrescu, but I don’t; I think about Bento and Kate and David.
