G. BONHOMME does not live in a small, run-down former servants’ cottage on the grounds of an abandoned European manor, smoking furiously, and penning erotic tales on a recalcitrant 1970s-era Selectric typewriter. Nor does G. Bonhomme walk grumbling on cold mornings through winding, narrow paths in the undergrowth overtaking the manor, scaring the swallows, and waiting for the mail carrier to arrive on her rickety bicycle. However, it is true that two of Bonhomme’s stories have been published at Fishnet.com, in the friendly neon hubbub of San Francisco, far away from manors, swallows, and underbrush.
