Howard Waldrop. Winter Quarters. Original typescript with revisions in the author’s hand, marked for typesetting in red by Ellen Datlow, summer 2000.
Howard Waldrop is an American original, a brilliant author whose recognition has largely been among other writers and a small group of editors. He makes things happen like no one else can. “Winter Quarters,” a story of the cloning of extinct species and a small-time circus, one that “only had two mammoths,” includes a remarkable and utterly chilling one-page Brechtian vaudeville of the Holocaust.
No. 62.
