I suppose this not only relates to the grand scale cultural revolutions, but also to the smaller daily changes we should, but don't, make. What a beautiful, and somewhat tragic, thought.

]]> Comment on “Dear Santa”: The Lost 1989 Manuscript by Michael Arnzen http://www.gorelets.com/blog/weblog-exclusive/dear-santa-the-lost-1989-manuscript/#comment-4242 Michael Arnzen Sat, 24 Dec 2011 13:45:16 +0000 http://www.gorelets.com/blog/?p=1605#comment-4242 Update, Xmas 2011: Yesterday I learned from a good writing friend that this story -- which bears a copyright protection symbol on scribd -- was illegally reprinted (e.g. without my permission) along with tales by dozens of others in a pirated ebook called "Gift Wrapped and Toe-Tagged." If you ever see that book, DO NOT BUY OR DOWNLOAD. It is like a Santa's bag filled with stolen property. This sort of thing is exactly why I don't publish more fiction online, and why I generally oppose the scan-and-archive approach to digitizing books that is happening by the likes of amazon and google. Even so, it's kind of ironic that this story -- which was my first ever accepted for publication but which never saw print -- has this weird second life. -- Mike Arnzen Update, Xmas 2011: Yesterday I learned from a good writing friend that this story — which bears a copyright protection symbol on scribd — was illegally reprinted (e.g. without my permission) along with tales by dozens of others in a pirated ebook called “Gift Wrapped and Toe-Tagged.” If you ever see that book, DO NOT BUY OR DOWNLOAD.
