My latest short story, "For Want of a Better Word," is featured in the new issue of
The Cincinnati Review
as the winner of their ninth annual Robert and Adele Schiff Award in
Prose. Fiction Editor Michael Griffith writes, "Sean Gill’s excellent
'For Want of a Better Word' begins with a clever premise—a lab assistant
inventing words for an experiment in artificial intelligence—and then
does ingenious things with tone and timespan to make that premise far
more than merely clever. The result is a surprising, touching, funny,
and bittersweet story about the ways being smart can help us, and the
ways it can’t." The entire issue (which includes
fiction by Steve Almond, Jameelah Lang, and George Singleton, among
others) is
available for purchase in print here.
