The Fire Lit and Nearing | J. G. McClure
In an homage to the Homeric tradition, McClure's epic hero is an astronaut, rife with self-loathing, flawed, and searching desperately for his heroine. While our hero drifts in an intergalactic sea of regret, longing, and self-revelation, his follies in life and love remind us of ourselves, and bring us with him on his epic homecoming.
