This one's in the July issue of <cite>Interzone<\/cite>; it's called \"Isabel of the Fall,\" and it's a lovely far-future science fiction story with a mythological feel.  I'm thinking this one's an award candidate; it's certainly among the best I've read this year.  I think this is the fourth story of his I've read (others being \"The Summer Isles,\" \"The Chop Girl,\" and \"Chitty Bang-Bang\"); they've all been quite good.  Great characters, great relationships between characters, great sense-of-place. The interview with him in this issue of <cite>Interzone<\/cite> notes that he's got a short-story collection and a novel out; I'll have to look for those.  It also notes that he's got some stories and an autobiographical essay posted at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infinityplus.co.uk\/misc\/imaclbio.htm\">Infinity Plus,<\/a> the great sf reprint site; there are links from the bottom of the autobio to his stories there, to a review of his collection, and to his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ianrmacleod.freeserve.co.uk\/\">home page.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now if I can just stop confusing him with the other Ians and the other Mcs and Macs who are writing sf these days.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just read another great Ian R.
