Wednesday, October 1, Tor.com publishes “Catch ’Em In the Act†by Terry Bisson, a new short story from the author of “Bears Discover Fire†and the hugely reprinted “They’re Made Out of Meat.â€
Terry Bisson’s many novels include Talking Man (1986), Fire on the Mountain (1988), Voyage to the Red Planet (1990), Pirates of the Universe (1996), and The Pickup Artist (2001). His 1990 short story “Bears Discover Fire†won both the Hugo and the Nebula awards. He has published several volumes of short fiction, including Bears Discover Fire and Other Stories (1993), In the Upper Room and Other Likely Stories (2000), and Greetings (2005).
Illustrated by Jeremy Enecio, “Catch ’Em In the Act†is vintage Bisson—ironic, understated, and funnier the more you think about it.
