Cole Parker Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Nigel Gordon's newest short story is a charming, macabre delight. Succinct and powerful. Enjoy! http://www.awesomedude.com/nigel_gordon/a-fitting-occupation-for-a-queer/a-fitting-occupation-for-a-queer.htm Quote Link to comment
Nick Deverill Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Indeed. It's a well researched period piece. I could readily imagine it as a short film. Quote Link to comment
Camy Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Indeed. It's a well researched period piece. I could readily imagine it as a short film. I agree. It would make a really good short film. Quote Link to comment
Jeff Ellis Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yes indeed. Delightfully nuanced, very British. Shades of the Cambridge spy ring. Quote Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Absolutely brilliant! One of the best stories I have read on Awesome Dude and something that should be required reading in our schools. Nigel gives us a very valuable lesson on the need for those of us square pegs who don't fit in to round holes. I see ominous parallels between the world he describes and certain movements and ways of thinking in America today. There are none so wicked as those who ask, "Why?" Quote Link to comment
