Anywhere But Here, Episode II

This year's winner of the Fountain Award, "The Annals of Eelin-Ok" by Jeffrey Ford, is now available online. I read some stories last year that were as good, but none that I thought were better.

Also available now is an essay by John Kessel, "Creating the Innocent Killer: Ender's Game, Intention, and Morality". It's a valuable essay for putting one of the most popular science fiction novels into some perspective, and it makes a good companion to Cory Doctorow's recent story "Anda's Game".
